To continue to celebrate Shadows of Dismemberment’s anniversary I created one of the novel’s most charged moments: John Satori and Judy find themselves face to face in a scene heavy with tension and truth.
Some cases change the course of a city. Others change the course of history.
In the 1930s, Eliot Ness was already a legend — the man who helped bring down Al Capone. But in Shadows of Dismemberment, we step into a chapter of his life that history books barely whisper about: a chilling murder investigation that dragged him out from behind his desk and into the darkest corners of Cleveland.
The answer lies not only in dusty police files but in the memories of those who lived it. Judy Getty’s account, handed down by her mother Rue, brings this forgotten horror into stark, unforgettable focus. Their story threads through decades — from the grim reality of Depression-era America to the present day — revealing that the shadows of the past still reach for us.
This is not just a meeting of two characters — it’s a collision of timelines, of hard evidence and intriguing memory.
What unfolds between them reshapes the investigation and sends the story hurtling toward revelations no one — not even Ness — could have predicted.
Crime is often about facts, but Shadows of Dismemberment is about impact. It’s about how murder doesn’t end with the victim — it ripples through families, across decades, and into the present.
By weaving historical fact with Rue’s firsthand experiences, the novel offers more than a whodunnit — it delivers a chilling reminder that some shadows never lift.
