Seller's Description:
Very good in Very good jacket. viii, 275, [5] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Some edge soiling. This copy has two inscriptions, one by the author and one by Bob Curley who is a central figure in the book. The author inscription on the title page reads as follows: "Renee, Thanks so much for your interest! Brian MacQuarrie". The inscription on the Dedication page by Bob Curley reads as follows: "To Renee Thank you for coming out God Bless Bob Curley". Brian MacQuarrie is a reporter for The Boston Globe. He joined the newsroom in 1987 from The Philadelphia Inquirer and has covered a broad range of key stories for the Globe, including the Boston Marathon bombings, Hurricane Katrina, the Sept. 11 attacks, the hunt for al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan. He was an embedded front-line reporter during the US invasion of Iraq. MacQuarrie spent much of 2012 covering President Obama's reelection campaign. He has returned to Iraq and Afghanistan several times, and in 2022 reported from Ukraine in the early months of the Russian invasion. MacQuarrie also searches for often-forgotten tales of historical interest in Boston and beyond. MacQuarrie contributed to the Globe's Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the Marathon bombings and has been honored by the National Headliner Awards and the New England Newspaper & Press Association. Prior to The Philadelphia Inquirer, he worked at The Providence Journal, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, and The Middlesex News. MacQuarrie graduated with honors from the University of Missouri. The Ride tells the true story of one of the most gruesome crimes in recent memory-the 1997 abduction and murder of ten-year-old Massachusetts resident Jeffrey Curley-and how his father, Bob Curley, managed to heal the deep wounds of rage and emerge to become an outspoken critic of the death penalty. In vivid, compelling prose, Boston Globe reporter Brian MacQuarrie recounts the brutal crime that shocked New England and chronicles what transpires after Jeffrey's death, which is nearly as shocking as the crime itself. At the heart of this deeply touching story is the way Bob Curley summons the almost superhuman courage to reject the death penalty. In tracing his personal journey, The Ride presents an appealing everyman hero forced into the spotlight by unfathomable circumstances, and compelled to confront the consequences of his fury. Derived from a Kirkus review: Boston Globe reporter MacQuarrie chronicles the October 1997 murder of ten-year-old Jeffrey Curley and its devastating effect on his family. What begins as fairly typical, if unusually disturbing, true-crime material quickly turns into the stuff of Greek tragedy as the author plumbs the psyche of the real protagonist of the story-Jeffrey's father Bob, a firehouse mechanic from a working-class section of Cambridge. Bob was estranged from his wife and beginning a new relationship when Jeffrey's horrific murder at the hands of a pair of sociopaths thrust him into the limelight as the de facto spokesman for the reinstatement of the death penalty in one of the most liberal states in the nation. At first, perhaps as a result of the guilt he felt for not being present when Jeffrey needed him most, Bob was eager to play the role that death-penalty proponents asked of him. The sentiment the Curley case aroused in the public developed a momentum that nearly succeeded in overwhelming the anti-capital punishment contingent that was long in power in the statehouse, but crafty politics and unusually courageous politicians turned back the challenge. Then Bob found himself-and worse, the image of Jeffrey in his Little League uniform-being used as a political prop in campaign literature without permission. When the courts dealt Jeffrey's murderer a light sentence, Bob lost all faith in the system to get the right man, let alone determine whether he lived or not. MacQuarrie's familiarity with the physical landscape of Boston and its suburbs lends a captivating verisimilitude to the...
