From the previous edition:
"No single reporter has covered the Boston bombing as thoroughly as Michele McPhee. She knows Boston — its streets, its cops, and its corridors of power. Mayhem is riveting and troubling exposé of the FBI's botched handling of the Tsarnaev brothers. You may think you know this story, but until you read this book, you don't." — T. J. English, New York Times-bestselling author of Where the Bodies Were Buried and The Westies
"A riveting, eye-opening page-turner that takes you into the real world of international terrorism." — Bernard B. Kerik, New York City police commissioner (retired)
"Shocking new truths about the Boston Marathon bombers and those in government, law enforcement, and their own community who gave them free rein to plot and execute one of the most vicious terror attacks ever carried out on American soil. This book will grab you, shake you, and will not let you go!" — Casey Sherman, New York Times-bestselling author of Boston Strong
"McPhee is an old-fashioned, hard-working, street-smart investigative journalist who is determined to get to the bottom of things." — Prof. John D. Woodward, Jr., Boston University (Retired CIA officer). "McPhee’s reporting clearly proves the government at best lied or covered up, at worse falsified, the facts of a terrorist attack on American soil. A great read for those of us who are fascinated with the truth." — Jerry Flynn, President United Federation of Police Officers
"McPhee's latest true crime narrative takes the story of the Boston Marathon bombing to new levels with her gripping account of the explosion, the frantic search for the culprits, and the eventual trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Even readers familiar with the contours of the tragedy are likely to find McPhee's narrative terrifying and moving." — Publishers Weekly
