On August 6, 1930, New York Supreme Court justice Joseph Crater left a Times Square-area restaurant and was never seen again. On its blog, Overlook Press
discusses Peter Quinn's new novel
The Man Who Never Returned, which sets PI Fintan Dunne on the trail of Crater. This
Web page features several stories by the
New York Times regarding Crater's disappearance; the film
The Judge Steps Out (1949; dir. Boris Ingster) and the
CSI: New York episode "The Cost of Living" are both drawn from the case. Crater was declared dead in 1939.
