Overview
In 1963, Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie were just two young women living on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Then one muggy day in August, an intruder made his way into their apartment where he raped and murdered them.
Months passed before the police had a suspect in custody. His name was George Whitmore Jr., a nineteen-year-old Black man with an IQ of less than 70. After giving a confession, Whitmore was convicted and incarcerated, but Asst. DA Mel Glass was not so certain of the young man’s guilt . . .
In Echoes of My Soul, bestselling author and renowned prosecutor Robert K. Tanenbaum delves into the historic case of the “Career Girls Murders.” He examines the brutal crime and the troubling investigation, full of law enforcement missteps and cover-ups. The author also details the story of an ADA who placed his career on the line to free an innocent man whose story would ultimately go on to influence the American justice system.
“A strong candidate to become a true crime classic. . . . Brilliantly written and unfailingly riveting.” —Vincent Bugliosi, author and prosecutor of the Manson Family Tate–LaBianca murders
“Echoes of My Soul has the excitement of a great work of fiction and it is not ‘based’ upon a real case. It is a real case and it is about a real hero.” —Mark Lane, attorney and civil rights activist
“A compelling, page turning, disturbing true story.” —Jesse Choper, Earl Warren Professor of Public Law, Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley
