From the New York Timesbestselling author, a thrilling true crime story of grisly murder, police corruption, and an attorneys work to save an innocent man.
In 1963, Emily Hoffert and Janice Wylie were just two young women living on Manhattans 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 mans 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.

A strong candidate to become a true crime classic. . . . Brilliantly written and unfailingly riveting. Vincent Bugliosi, author and prosecutor of the Manson Family TateLaBianca murders
