The Brick Slayer by Harold Schechter
4.0
The Brick Slayer recounts the true crimes of a serial killer who murdered their victims in their homes or hotel rooms using a brick. It subsequently details the arrest of Robert Nixon who was convicted for these crimes and the racism involved within the case.
This was a very informative, unbiased book which examined both the brutal murders but also the racial implications within the case. This was a good, quick introduction to the case, however I do feel with all the complexities it deserved a lot more in-depth coverage.
