Detective Chief Case Files - Classic Crime Stories & Investigations | Perfect for Mystery Lovers & Crime Enthusiasts

Cigar-chomping Albert Seedman rose to become the NYPD’s Chief of Detectives in 1971, displaying an uncanny knack for “catching” the biggest cases. The one which is best remembered is the murder of Queens barmaid Kitty Genovese in 1964. Fifty-two years later, her murder is again front and center in the movie "The Witness." The details of the NYPD investigation leading to the capture of her murderer, as sourced from Seedman's files, can only be found here. Other headliner cases he recounts are the assassinations of Mafia bosses Joe Gallo and Joe Colombo, the cop executions by the Black Liberation Army, and the explosion of a Greenwich Village townhouse turned into a bomb factory by Weathermen radicals. Seedman solved them all, and these are his gripping stories, told with co-author Peter Hellman.
