Winner of the Edgar Award: The gripping account of a gruesome mass
murder in gritty 1980s New York and the relentless hunt for a
coldblooded killer. Â On a warm spring evening in 1982,
thirty-seven-year-old accountant Margaret Barbera left work in New
York City and walked to the West Side parking lot where she kept
her BMW. Finding the lock on the driver’s side door jammed, she
went to the passenger’s side and inserted her key. A man leaned
through the open window of a van parked in the next spot, pressed a
silenced pistol to the back of Margaret’s head, and fired. She
was dead before she hit the pavement. Â It was a professional
hit, meticulously planned—but the killer didn’t expect three
employees of the nearby CBS television studios to stumble onto the
scene of the crime. “You didn’t see nothin’, did you?” he
demanded, before shooting the first eyewitness in the head. After
chasing down and executing the other two men, the murderer sped out
of the parking lot with Margaret’s lifeless body in the back of
his van. Â Thirty minutes later, the first detectives arrived
on the scene. Veterans of Midtown North, a sprawling precinct
stretching from the exclusive shops of Fifth Avenue to the
flophouses of Hell’s Kitchen, they thought they’d seen it all.
But a bloodbath in the heart of Manhattan was a shocking new level
of depravity, and the investigation would unfold under intense
media coverage. Setting out on the trail of an assassin, the NYPD
uncovered one of the most diabolical criminal conspiracies in the
city’s history.  Richard Hammer’s blow-by-blow account
of “the CBS Murders” is a thrilling tale of greed, violence,
and betrayal, and a fascinating portrait of how a big-city police
department solved the toughest of cases. Â
