The Mad Bomber of New York: The Extraordinary True Story of the Manhunt That Paralyzed a City

Between 1940 and 1957, 33 bombs — strategically placed in Grand Central, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macy's and other populous areas of New York — paralyzed the city,  sending shockwaves of fear through an unsuspecting public.

 George Metesky, the “Mad Bomber,” unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through America's social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a crime psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt. Compelling historical true crime, The Mad Bomber of New York is the gripping tale of two individuals engaged in a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with the city of New York caught in the crosshairs.
