The Boston Strangler (59 page)

It is unlikely now that Albert DeSalvo, the man responsible for all this, will ever stand trial as the Boston Strangler—but it is clear that he will never be free again.

But no matter what direction is taken by the law and those who act in its behalf—determined to protect the rights of society, yet equally determined to protect the rights of the individual—the story of the Boston Stranglings has ended.

About the Author

Gerold Frank (1907–1998) was an American author and ghostwriter. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Frank attended Ohio State University. After graduation, he moved to New York with dreams of becoming a poet, and then moved back to Cleveland to work as a newspaperman. Later, he returned to New York to work for the
Journal-American
. During World War II, Frank was a war correspondent in the Middle East. He won two Edgar Awards for Best Fact Crime, for his books
The Deed
and
The Boston Strangler
, the latter of which was adapted into a film starring Tony Curtis. He was a pioneer of the contemporary literary form of the as-told-to celebrity biography. Frank's books number in the dozens, and include collaborations with Lillian Roth, Mike Connolly, Diana Barrymore, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Judy Garland.
