Unveiling the Dark Secrets Behind John J Lennon’s The Tragedy of True Crime: A Must-Read Review
Lennon refuses to embrace what he calls “the good versus evil binary,” as he tells his own story and that of three other convicts. In Act 1, “The Meet,” we meet Michael Shane Hale, serving 50 years to life for killing his 62-year-old male partner when he was 23 in 1995. He introduces us to Milton E. Jones, serving 50 years to life for killing two priests in 1987. Finally, we meet the one person in the book whose story has already been the subject of true crime shows: Robert Chambers, dubbed the “Preppy Killer” for strangling Jennifer Levin in 1986 while they were hooking up in Central Park. Chambers had served 15 years for manslaughter but returned to prison after being busted in a drug sting.
