<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A MONSTER PREYED UPON THE CHILDREN OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY BOSTON. HIS CRIMES WERE APPALLING -- AND YET HE WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A CHILD HIMSELF.</b> <p/> When fourteen-year-old Jesse Pomeroy was arrested in 1874, a nightmarish reign of terror over an unsuspecting city came to an end. The Boston Boy Fiend was imprisoned at last. But the complex questions sparked by his ghastly crime spree -- the hows and whys of vicious juvenile crime -- were as relevant in the so-called Age of Innocence as they are today. <br> Jesse Pomeroy was outwardly repellent in appearance, with a gruesome dead eye; inside, he was deformed beyond imagining. A sexual sadist of disturbing precocity, he satisfied his atrocious appetites by abducting and torturing his child victims. But soon, the teenager's bloodlust gave way to another obsession: murder. <br> Harold Schechter, whose true-crime masterpieces are well-documented nightmares for anyone who dares to look (<i>Peoria Journal Star</i>), brings his acclaimed mix of page-turning storytelling, brilliant insight, and fascinating historical documentation to <i>Fiend</i> -- an unforgettable account from the annals of American crime.
