Reviews"Under the Bridgeis a fine piece of reportage and a shocking rendering of the tragic end of one young life and the dark and sinister beginnings of others. Godfrey writes with stinging insight and an urgency that moves the story from teenage hush and whisper to the reality of the coroner's office and sad, fatigued cops. The principals are all victims -- of schools and communities and families that don't care -- and perpetrators -- harming one another and themselves in this startling fall from innocence."-- Anthony Swofford, author ofJarhead, "Under the Bridgeis a prodigiously researched and carefully observed account of a senseless murder and its aftermath. Rebecca Godfrey brings a sympathetic imagination and a finely tuned ear for language to bear on a dark subject, with spectacular results.Under the Bridgeis anIn Cold Bloodfor our colder times."-- Evan Cornog, publisher,Columbia Journalism Review, "A stunning book that manages to terrify and enlighten at the same time. No one understands the teenage mind like Rebecca Godfrey. And no one can penetrate its darkest recesses with such insight and compassion."-- Gary Shteyngart, author of The Russian Debutante's Handbook
