While the City Slept

a Love Lost to Violence and a Young Man's Descent Into Madness
Jun 10, 2019vm510 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
A gripping yet sensitive look at an unthinkable crime and at the man who was decompensating mentally before he committed this crime. The author tracks the lives of the victims and their families as well the perpetrator and his own troubled family. It looks at how the mental health system failed to recognize this man's ongoing descent and how the crime was a "crime in progress" that could've possibly been stopped before it happened.
