Résumé
The Invisible Dead: Race, Madness, and the Serial Killer America Forgot In the summer of 1987, the smell from a third-floor apartment in North Philadelphia finally became impossible to ignore. When police forced the door, they found what the city had failed to notice for an entire year: the remains of seven women, concealed among forty centimetres of compacted garbage, on the roof, and beneath the floor of a neighbouring building.
The man who killed them, Harrison Frank Graham, known to neighbours as a cooperative, child-like figure who played basketball with local children, was nearly unknown outside Philadelphia. Five months earlier and barely a mile away, Gary Heidnik had been arrested for the torture and murder of women in his basement. Heidnik became a household name; the partial inspiration for Buffalo Bill in The Silence of the Lambs.
Graham became nothing. The Invisible Dead is the book that asks why. Drawing on court records, forensic evidence, constitutional jurisprudence, and the academic literature on race and criminal mythology, Seán Tomás Ó Cléirigh reconstructs not only how seven women died but how a city's deliberate disinvestment, a legal system's racial organisation, and a culture's selective appetite for certain kinds of horror conspired to make their deaths, and the man responsible for them, all but invisible.
This is a book about systems. And about what happens when systems fail the people they were built to protect.
