Including never-before-told stories, unexpected revelations, and unforgettable moments of heroism and humanity, Long Mile Home is both an absorbing, action-packed narrative and a lasting tribute to the bravery and resiliency of the Boston community.

Paperback
Publication Date: 27/05/2015
The full story of the Boston Marathon bombing, the hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers, and a city's brave response to terror--drawing from Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the story in The Boston Globe. When two bombs exploded at the densely crowded finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, the whole world watched in shock as the story unfolded. First, the death toll and life-altering injuries. Next, the identification of the suspects--Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev--and the tense manhunt that brought Boston to a standstill. And, finally, the courageous and inspiring recovery of a wounded American city.
