High Hopes: The Amityville Murders by Gerard Sullivan & Harvey Aronson

FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION [1981] COWARD McCANN

Hardcover with Dust Jacket in Very Good condition.    Dust jacket is fully in tact, but shows tanning and some wear along edges & corners.  

Book itself reads nicely.  Pages are clean, bright & unmarked but *photo insert mid-book is detached from spine [see last photo.]  Cover is clean;  decorative leatherette spine has some tanning along edges of spine.  All in all, a great reading copy of this RARE true crime novel about the murders that led to the most infamous haunting of the 20th century. 

112 Ocean Avenue, Amityville, NY - affectionately named "High Hopes" by its owners ... soon to become known to millions around the world as the site of the Amityville horror.

On the morning of November 13, 1974, six members of a prosperous Italian family would be found dead there, shot to death by a .35 caliber Marlin rifle. On that morning, Ronnie DeFeo, 23, would get up, shave, shower, dress and go to work, apparently oblivious to the carnage behind him. This is the story of what happened in that house and the court case that followed - a model of investigation and prosecution to rival Helter Skelter ... a true story more chilling and macabre than any account of ghosts or hauntings could ever be.
