A landlord, gunned down on Gatling Place. A guidance counselor, blown up on 91st Street. A sophomore at Fort Hamilton, executed in Owl's Head Park. In this standalone work, local historian Henry Stewart follows up True Crime Bay Ridge with eleven more stories of thievery, kidnapping and murder. Together, they illuminate the neighborhood's past by focusing on the lives of its unluckiest and most notorious residents, from the bank robbers who ran a roadhouse on 92nd Street to the madam who managed a brothel on 86th Street. Spanning a century, from 1886 to 1982, More True Crime Bay Ridge uses contemporary newspaper accounts to uncover a parallel history of this quiet community, which has long had a place on its margins for the dissolute and the doomed.

Henry Stewart is a journalist and historian. He lives in Bay Ridge, where he has always lived, with his wife.

Nobody knows Bay Ridge quite like Henry Stewart. Get ready for another wild ride: in punchy tabloid style, this is a bullet-spattered journey to the end of Brooklyn that you'll never forget. -Kevin Walsh, Forgotten New York, Forgotten Queens
