Vanishing Point

The Disappearance of Judge Crater, and the New York He Left Behind

Beschreibung

The sudden disappearance of Judge Joseph Crater nearly 75 years ago led to perhaps the most famous missing persons case of the 20th century. "Vanishing Point" is a revealing look at New York as the Jazz Age gave way to the Depression, and one of the most intriguing stories in the annals of urban America.
