In the 1980s and early 1990s the “Last Call serial killer” preyed upon gay men in the New York area and left their remains in rest areas across three states. In this true crime drama, journalist Elon Green meticulously reports on the investigations by detectives from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maine. He draws on the accounts from friends and family of the victims, lending insight into the victims’ lives and the rise of the LGBTQ community to join with the police to find the killer. This compelling, true crime narrative tells the story of the Last Call Killer and the decades-long chase to find him, as it simultaneously paints a portrait of his victims and documents a vibrant gay community and political actions to expand awareness of violence against the gay community. A “terrific, harrowing, true-crime account of an elusive serial killer who preyed upon gay men in the 1990s.” -The New York Times
