An unputdownable true crime story set in the pulp-fiction obsessed
world of 1930s America. On Easter Sunday 1937, Bob Irwin - a
handsome, failing sculptor with a history of depression and
psychopathic episodes - commited a grisly triple murder. Creeping
back to the flat of his ex-landlady in a swish New York borough,
Irwin killed her, her lodger, and her stunning daughter Ronnie with
an ice-pick, an apparently motiveless homicide that would shock the
entire country. Firmly in 'you couldn't make it up' territory, and
crafted like a Chandler novel, THE MAD SCULPTOR thrillingly relates
Irwin's crime, flight, and capture, his trial and its aftermath,
whilst painting a warts-and-all portrait of 1930s America.
