""Prigge paints a vivid picture of Wojtowicz, a deeply contradictory man . . . Eden struggled with mental illness, and Prigge writes about her with care. His depiction of the robbery itself is tense and suspenseful. More than just the tale of a heist gone awry, however, this is a book that pays deep attention to the historical context surrounding a tragic crime. A fascinating look at the real-life crime that inspired a revered film."" —Kirkus Review
