Summary
Starred
Review. The 1920 bombing of Wall Street, the most deadly act of
terrorism in the United States until the Oklahoma blast of
1995, provides the framework for Rubenfeld's excellent
follow-up to The Interpretation of Murder. The sweeping plot
details the baffling hunt for those responsible for the death
and injury of more than 400 New Yorkers. Numerous intriguing
subplots snake out from the main story line, several of which
bring such historical figures as Marie Curie, famous for her
radium experiments, and Sigmund Freud, who had a significant
role in the previous book, to life. Rubenfeld deftly wends his
way through the shifting landscape with a historian's factual
touch and a storyteller's eye for the dramatic and telling.
Readers will be enthralled as Dr. Stratham Younger, the hero of
The Interpretation of Murder--aided by his beautiful
fiancée, scientist Colette Rousseau, and Det. James
Littlemore--manages to solve the Wall Street bombing, something
that the real authorities never did. (Jan.)
