Summary of Richard Hammer's The CBS Murders
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The police precinct of Midtown North is a microcosm of the public picture of New York. It stretches from the Hudson River piers and the decrepit West Side Highway east to the soaring towers and exclusive shops that line Fifth Avenue. #2 There is a barely concealed stench of desperation and fear beneath the wealth, glitter, and success of New York City. For some, their fears drive them away from the quiet hopelessness to desperate acts. #3 The argument about who should lead the investigation into the murders was desultory and academic. It was Stanley Shapiro’s turn, as he had not had a murder in six weeks. #4 Donald Nash was a burly, bullet-headed man in his late 40s with a drooping, blind right eye. He had been hired to drive a van into the parking lot of the S. S. Rotterdam, where he would wait for two hours before driving away.

The CBS Murders
"On a warm spring evening in 1982, thirty-seven-year-old accountant Margaret Barbera left work in New York City and walked to the West Side parking lot where she kept her BMW. Finding the lock on the driver's side door jammed, she went to the passenger's side and inserted her key. A man leaned through the open window of a van parked in the next spot, pressed a silenced pistol to the back of Margaret's head, and fired. She was dead before she hit the pavement. It was a professional hit, meticulously planned--but the killer didn't expect three employees of the nearby CBS television studios to stumble onto the scene of the crime. "You didn't see nothin', did you?" he demanded, before shooting t...
