Summary

"The gripping true story, told here for the first time, of the Last Call Killer. The Townhouse Bar, Midtown Manhattan, July 1992: The piano player seems to know every song ever written, the crowd belts out the lyrics to its favorites, and a man standing nearby is drinking a scotch and water. To the piano player, the man is forgettable. Bland and inconspicuous, he is not at all what you'd think a serial killer looks like. But that's what he is, and tonight his sights are set on a gray-haired man. This will not be his first victim. Nor will it be his last. The Last Call Killer preyed upon gay men in New York in the '80s and '90s and had all the hallmarks of the most notorious serial killers. Yet because of the sexuality of his victims, the sky-high murder rates, and the AIDS epidemic, his murders have been forgotten. This gripping narrative tells the story of the Last Call Killer and the decades-long chase to find him. And at the same time, it paints a portrait of his victims and a vibrant community navigating threat and resilience"--, Provided by publisher
