\nFrom award-winning investigative jour
nalist Andy Kroll\, a true-crime story for the post-truth era unraveling o
ne of the foundational conspiracy theories of the 21st century
In the early hours of July 10\, 2016\, gunshots rang out and a young man l
ay fatally wounded on a quiet Washington\, DC\, street. But who killed Set
h Rich? When he was buried in his hometown\, his rabbi declared: "There ar
e no answers for a young man gunned down in the prime of his life." The ra
bbi was wrong. There were in fact many answers\, way too many.
In the absence of an arrest\, a howling mob filled the void. Wild speculation and fantastical theories surfaced on social media and gained traction tha nks to a high-level cast of provocateurs. But it wasn't until Fox News too k the rumors from the fringes to the mainstream that Seth Rich's life and death grew into something altogether unexpected&mdash\;one of the defining conspiracy theories of modern times.
\nA Death on W Street
unravels this gripping saga of murder\, madness and political chicanery\,
one that would ensnare Hillary Clinton and Steve Bannon\, a popular pizze
ria in northwest DC and the most powerful voices in American media. It's t
he story of an idealistic twenty-seven-year-old political staffer who beca
me a tragic victim of the culture wars\, until his family decided that the
y had no choice but to defend his name and put an end to the cruel decepti
ons that surrounded his death.
This is the definitive story of
Seth Rich\, of those who tried to weaponize his memory in a war of words
unlike any other and of one family's crusade to protect the truth against
all odds.
