Trials of Walter Ogrod
" The Trials of Walter Ogrod is not only a compelling read and a fascinatingly detailed examination of a grotesquely botched murder case, it is a critically important work that rips the lid off the stew of secrets and lies hiding beneath what most think of as 'criminal justice.' Innocuous terms like 'police and prosecutorial misconduct' take on a new and chilling meaning thanks to Lowenstein's dogged pursuit and thoughtful analysis." Mike Farrell, author of Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist and Of Mule and Man

"...fans of the Making a Murderer series will be especially outraged by this unjust case." Booklist
"an important volume about how the criminal justice system does and doesn't function." Library Journal
" Serial and Making a Murderer have focused national attention on the injustices that can result from shoddy police investigations. The public outrage that has been generated by these programs will be eclipsed tenfold by the events that unfold in The Trials of Walter Ogrod . Lowenstein takes readers through the convoluted twists and turns of this case as few true crime writers have ever been able to do." James L. Trainum, former Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department detective and author of How the Police Generate False Confessions
