Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Pienciak (Deadly Masquerade) details the terrible and simultaneously pathetic story of a young man the FBI described as "a sexually sadistic serial killer" and the mother who protected him. Carolyn Napoletano is bossy, arrogant, and warped. Her son, Nick, appears weak and inept but harbors a deep rage against Carolyn and her treatment of him. His anger has exploded into at least three brutal murders, beginning with the 1984 killing of his girlfriend. Police suspected Nick immediately but couldn't gather sufficient proof. In 1991, Nick became the prime suspect in the disappearance of his wife, and it's at this point that police began to uncover how Carolyn had shielded Nick. An administrative assistant for the NYPD, she tampered with police memos, evidence, and witnesses related to Nick's murder investigations. In spite of substantial proof to the contrary, she still maintains her innocence. Thankfully, Nick--her creation--is now in prison. Brian McCombie

From Kirkus Reviews
The freakish tale of wife-killer Eric Napoletano and the mother who protected him from the police. Napoletano was reared in New York City by his racist mother, Carolyn, and a smarmy hustler he referred to as ``Uncle Al.'' Al and Carolyn disliked each other but doted on Eric, a surly youth with a taste for Hispanic and black women, those his mother hated most. Napoletano's victims--a girlfriend, a mother-in-law, and his second wife--were murdered with great savagery, and it's clear from phone records and witnesses cited by Pienciak (Murder at 75 Birch, 1992, etc.) that Al and Carolyn knew about the killings. Napoletano, a onetime trucker, dumped the mutilated bodies of his girlfriend and wife along rural roads near New York. He simply shot his mother-in-law in the street. His mother worked for the NYPD and managed to destroy records and files pertaining to her son's crimes. The story is bizarre, and the players uniquely evil, but the narrative is curiously dry and frequently dull. The details of the crimes are vague since Pienciak gives only the most cursory explanations of how they were carried out. It's clear that Eric's sadism had something to do with events in his childhood, but no theories about its origins are offered, and the details given here of Eric's trial for the murder of his wife are hopelessly muddled. The book works best in the brief sections where we are given Carolyn's own corrosive words, which do tell us concretely about these hideous lives. Pienciak's sarcastic tone, from the book's title to his mockery of Carolyn's appearance, repeatedly disrupts the narrative, which never adequately explains what happened, or why.

Eric Napoletano is a psychopath who killed his wives and girlfriends. He had a sick view of women in general. He had a tendency towards hysterics. This well written book will reel in true crime readers and people with backgrounds in mental health and human services.
Napoletano's mother Carolyn sounded revolting and had weird pathology as well. She met Eric's father in a bar and he was the result of a short lived affair. Carolyn's parenting style is questionable at best, unhealthy and bizarre at worst. Eric was indulged and treated more like her social peer than like her son. Even weirder was when she let her then teenage son move in with an openly gay man who was attracted to young boys. What was she thinking!
Eric had a history of emotional disturbance. He was in and out of the hospital and was sentenced for 2 years to Green Chimneys in Brewster New York. Green Chimneys has been called by survivors as an abuse center. Staff abuse of kids ran throughout Green Chimneys (I was there, but not when Eric was) most likely inflamed his cruel nature and twisted his pathology even further. Eric Lau, a killer who attended Green Chimneys in the 1990s murdered his neighbor, Jami Ehrlich on November 29, 2009. During his time at Green Chimneys, the state sentenced him to David Hall, a psychiatric hospital for boys at Green Chimneys. (The hospital is named after Dr. Samuel Ross' son, David, who died in 1990). Another rapist and a killer named Philip Zagarella was there, but a few years before Eric. You can read about them on the internet. Green Chimneys was the kind of place where cruelty ruled. In fact, Napoletano killed a woman named Myra, who was his wife at the time. Myra is the name of Dr. Samuel B. Ross Jr.'s wife. That sounds like a connection. Like Ross, Eric could not tolerate his lovers and his wives wanting to contact their families or do things on their own without being told what to do by him.
Carolyn tampered with evidence and interfered with jurors after Eric was arrested and then the trial. Neither Carolyn nor Eric ever took responsiblity for their actions. Both are very sick people and Eric will be in jail for life.

This is a good example of a writer who obviously spent an incredible amount of time researching his book. Not only does he give us an in-depth study of the murderer but his mama as well. I am fascinated by the background of criminals and Mr Pienciak provides a lot of detail in this area. He writes well and it is a true crime selection worth reading.

I was the Assistant Prosecutor in New Jersey who handled the trial of Eric Napoletano for the murder of his wife, Myra Acevedo Napoletano. The success, including the conviction of and life sentence imposed on Eric Napoletano, was the result of uncommon cooperation among dedicated persons from various law enforcement agencies, including the F.B.I. in New York, New Jersey and New Mexico; Bear County, Delaware (where Myra's body was discovered); Clifton, New Jersey; New York City (at least 2 murders there); Pennsylvania (where the first body was dumped); and the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office. The book tells the tale of the capture and trial of a deranged young man who cultivated relationships with women, then murdered them when the relationships soured. The trial was a career experience of a lifetime. I would be more than willing to communicate with anyone who is interested in the case.
