Blood Crimes

From Allentown, Pennsylvania, to Brooklyn Heights, New York, Fred Rosen investigates the horrifying true story of 2 brothers who murdered their family-and the legacy of dysfunction behind their crimesRaised as Jehovah''s Witnesses and frustrated with their parents'' repressive rules, Bryan and David Freeman rebelled as teenagers. Encouraged by an acquaintance he met while institutionalized at a reform school, Bryan became a neo-Nazi. Bryan then indoctrinated David, and their flare for defiance took a dark turn. After callously murdering their father, mother, and younger brother, the skinhead brothers took flight across America, with police from 3 states in hot pursuit. They were eventually captured in Michigan and returned to Pennsylvania for trial. During the trial, author Fred Rosen uncovered evidence that 1 of the brothers might not have been as culpable as authorities claimed, and divulged the history of a family torn apart by stringent religious beliefs.Praise for Fred Rosen"The one true crime masterpiece I have read." -The Guardian on Lobster BoyFred Rosen, a former columnist for the Arts & Leisure section of the New York Times, is an award-winning author of true crime and history books, including Gold!, Did They Really Do It?, and Lobster Boy.
