Burke makes his case against one Leonard Paradiso. Lenny The Quahog was convicted of assaulting one young woman and paroled after three years  but Burke believes that he was guilty of much more  that Paradiso was a serial killer who operated in the Boston area  and maybe farther afield  for nearly fifteen years  assaulting countless young women and responsible for the deaths of as many as seven. Burke takes the reader inside the minds of prosecutors  police investigators  and one very dangerous man who thought he had figured out how to rape and murder and get away with it. The Paradiso Files generated headlines when first published in February 2008. Nine days later  Paradiso died at the age of sixty-five without commenting on any of Burkes accusations  including that he murdered Joan Webster  a Harvard graduate student who disappeared from Logan Airport in 1981. Boston-area prosecutors announced in September 2008 that Burkes revelations had led them to reopen the unsolved murder cases of three young women  Melodie Stankiewicz  Holly Davidson  and Kathy Williams. There were too many similarities between the individual cases to ignore  a prosecutor involved in the new investigation said. Burkes account leaves little doubt that Paradisos deeds should go down in infamy  alongside those of the Boston Strangler.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44886621225013,"sku":"ByrdShop_1586421492","price":225.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1586421492.jpg?v=1766918101","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-paradiso-files-on-the-trail-of-bostons-unknown-serial-killer","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
