Buckley, the founder of National Review. Buckley, who refused to believe that a man who supported the neoconservative movement could have committed such a heinous crime, began to advocate not only for Smith's life to be spared but also for his sentence to be overturned. So begins a bizarre and tragic tale of mid-century America. Sarah Weinman's Scoundrel leads us through the twists of fate and fortune that brought Smith to freedom, book deals, fame, and eventually to attempting murder again. In Smith, Weinman has uncovered a psychopath who slipped his way into public acclaim and acceptance before crashing down to earth once again." 600 10 $a Smith, Edgar, $d 1934-2017. 650 0 $a Murderers $z New Jersey $v Biography. 650 0 $a Swindlers and swindling $z New Jersey $v Biography. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230228011733.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20220720010122.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220224010021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6825DE9E953F11EC860267B63DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
