"An in-depth look at an act that shocked the city's elite." - New York Post , "30 Best Books on Our Summer Reading List in 2021" "Glatt is a balanced narrator of this story; though it would be easy to dismiss Gilbert as a privileged man-child protected by wealth and connections, the author also examines how complicated mental illness diagnoses can be, even for people with access to doctors and treatments....A tragic character study at the intersection of wealth, privilege, and mental illness, told with empathy." -- Library Journal "True crime fans will find this a compelling read." -- Booklist "Glatt shares alarming revelations about the state of the mental health system, where psychiatrists are largely powerless to intervene even when they see serious psychological issues that could result in harm to the patient or others. This is must reading for true crime enthusiasts who prize depth over salaciousness." -- Publishers Weekly "Glatt expertly interweaves the issues of mental health and privilege... by thorough investigative research and empathy for all involved, [he] has managed to present these complicated matters in an intriguing, enthralling narrative." -- Criminal Element Praise for THE PERFECT FATHER: "Glatt's expert coverage of the investigation is riveting...police procedural fans will enjoy." -- Publishers Weekly "[A] gripping read." -- Library Journal Praise for THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR: "This chilling portrayal of abuse and secrecy may leave readers looking differently at their neighbors." -- Publishers Weekly "Thoroughly researched and thoroughly disturbing." -- Booklist Praise for John Glatt: "The murder case John Glatt recounts in lurid detail...is too bizarre for a work of fiction." -- New York Times Book Review for The Prince of Paradise "Chilling." --People Magazine for My Sweet Angel "A gripping, read-it-all-in-one-sitting kind of book" -- Kirkus Reviews for The Lost Girls "Veteran crime scribe Glatt gives us all the atmosphere, characters and facts to make an engrossing thriller." -- New York Post for The Prince of Paradise, "Piercing ... add this one to your beach bag." - People Magazine "An in-depth look at an act that shocked the city's elite." - New York Post , "30 Best Books on Our Summer Reading List in 2021" "Glatt is a balanced narrator of this story; though it would be easy to dismiss Gilbert as a privileged man-child protected by wealth and connections, the author also examines how complicated mental illness diagnoses can be, even for people with access to doctors and treatments....A tragic character study at the intersection of wealth, privilege, and mental illness, told with empathy." -- Library Journal "True crime fans will find this a compelling read." -- Booklist "Glatt shares alarming revelations about the state of the mental health system, where psychiatrists are largely powerless to intervene even when they see serious psychological issues that could result in harm to the patient or others.

Synopsis
In Golden Boy , New York Times bestselling author John Glatt tells the true story of Thomas Gilbert Jr., the handsome and charming New York socialite accused of murdering his father, a Manhattan millionaire and hedge fund founder. By all accounts, Thomas Gilbert Jr. led a charmed life. The son of a wealthy financier, he grew up surrounded by a loving family and all the luxury an Upper East Side childhood could provide: education at the elite Buckley School and Deerfield Academy, summers in a sprawling seaside mansion in the Hamptons. With his striking good looks, he moved with ease through glittering social circles and followed in his father's footsteps to Princeton. But Tommy always felt different. The cracks in his façade began to show in warning signs of OCD, increasing paranoia, and--most troubling--an inexplicable hatred of his father. As his parents begged him to seek psychiatric help, Tommy pushed back by self-medicating with drugs and escalating violence. When a fire destroyed his former best friend's Hamptons home, Tommy was the prime suspect--but he was never charged. Just months later, he arrived at his parents' apartment, calmly asked his mother to leave, and shot his father point-blank in the head. Journalist John Glatt takes an in-depth look at the devastating crime that rocked Manhattan's upper class. With exclusive access to sources close to Tommy, including his own mother, Glatt constructs the agonizing spiral of mental illness that led Thomas Gilbert Jr. to the ultimate unspeakable act.

- e***u (283)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- e***n (392)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
