Book excerpt: "...a compassionate, thorough and much-needed perspective of the story behind Dzhokhar Tsarnaev." In Boston, March 3, 2015, the day before the Marathon Bombing trial, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the notorious bomber was dressed in a brown tweed jacket and tan pants. He shaved, but grew a trimmed goatee. Dzhokhar sat in the John Joseph Moakley Courthouse in an empty courtroom with his legal team. His dark eyes avoided the reporter area, but he craned his neck looking everywhere in the room imagining it filled with victims and survivors from the bombings. When Dzhokhar was captured on the bullet-ridden boat for bombing the marathon on April 15, 2013 with his older brother Tamerlan, it ended a tense manhunt and lockdown. Bostonians took the streets were wildly celebrating that the suspect was found and arrested. While Dzhokhar lay wounded at the hospital, the government would have him stand trial in the deaths of three spectators and a MIT police officer. Author Aileen Lee brings a vivid and poignant story about Dzhokhar's case from the moment he was handcuffed to the grand moment of his trial.

He was a golden child who had so much potential and everyone loved him. What led him to bomb the marathon with his older brother? "Jahar sat alone at the defense table staring straight ahead. He must be thinking: Supermax or death. No, what's behind curtain No. 3 to hope for," tweets reporter Laurel Sweet from Boston Herald. Lee recorded tweets from reporters covering the trial that day - from horrific stories from the surviving victims to the evidences; from Dzhokhar's childhood stories to the verdict, the Boston Marathon Bombing trial is one of the most extraordinary trials of our time.
