When twelve year old Jesse Pomeroy tortured seven small boys in the Boston area and then went on to brutally murder two other children, one of the most striking aspects of his case was his inability ever to answer the question of why he did what he did. In this book, Dawn Keetley details the story of Pomeroy's crimes and the intense public outcry.
