This book is very scary only because it's true. The detail it goes into will surprise you. It tells you exactly what they saw!

3.0 out of 5 stars Sick child, March 3, 2010

S M Senden (Iowa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: "I Am Cain" (True crime) (Paperback)

I knew the family, and I thought the book was only so-so in presenting the story. It did not depict the family very well, many conclusions were drawn that were off base. It was written by an outsider and it shows in the presentation. A sick little boy who wants to be a hit man who is ignored by his parents who are too busy with their interests.

1.0 out of 5 stars Covering Up FBI Crimes, August 23, 2001

By 

Chris Fogarty (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: "I Am Cain" (True crime) (Paperback)

This book is partly true. It does cover David Biro's 1990 murder of Nancy and Richard Langert and their unborn child in a Chicago suburb. It does reveal that the 357 Magnum murder weapon belonged to FBI agent Lewis, but doesn't say why Lewis was never arrested. It does mention that FBI agent "Ed" Buckley took over the investigation and directed local law enforcement away from their sole suspect, the murderer, and onto "the IRA" and me. (I'm "Haggerty" in this book.) It covers up the murder investigation report in the files of the Winnetka police department that framed me for those murders. The report, signed by Police Officer John Fay under Buckley's direction, used "my" words that constituted information that, of the Earth's entire population, could have been known only by the murderer or first investigators on the crime scene. I never could have prevailed against "my own" words; but murderer Biro saved my life. He, a 16-year-old, blabbed through his FBI cover to Life Without Parole. I, being much older, would have gotten lethal injection but for him. I had never in my life even heard of anybody involved in these murders. It is with good reason that the author credits the FBI for helping her write this book.

The real story, of FBI crime, is not in this book.
