Title: The Strangler
Product review: Read Landay's more recent books and found them fascinating reads (esp. Defending Jacob), so anticipated this earlier work would be absorbing as well. But found complicated beginning - biographical sketches of several brothers with contrasting personalities undoubtedly groundwork for convoluted plot to follow. Prospect of sorting out and keeping track of these interrupted, episodic, interwoven lives left me frustrated early on and I put the book aside, notwithstanding the intriguing title.
