In this bold and suspenseful true-crime story, former homicide prosecutor Timothy M. 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.

Prologue: Harvard Medical College, 1849

It was late fall and a pleasant day for a walk from Bostons Beacon Hill down - photo 4

It was late fall and a pleasant day for a walk from Bostons Beacon Hill down the narrow cobblestone streets toward the Charles River. Not far from the muddy banks sat the original site of Harvard Medical College. Adjoining the medical school, the new Charles Street Jail was undergoing construction, taking form in the shape of a large stone crucifix. In the inner recess of Boston Harbor, flat-bottomed skiffs and three stately clipper ships lay comfortably moored in the calm water, their sails and riggings tightly secured to their masts in anticipation of winter. The scene evoked a Fitz Hugh Lane oil painting.

A tall, thin man with a black stovepipe hat walked down State Street, past the site of the Boston Massacre toward Faneuil Hall, the birthplace of the American Revolution. He momentarily considered the possibility of a meal at Durgin Park restaurant, but the waitresses there were too rude for his liking. Besides, there was the matter of a debt to be collected.
