Zoom Book Talk: THE ROPE by Alex Tresniowski

In his true crime thriller THE ROPE: A True Story of Murder, Heroism, and the Dawn of the NAACP, Alex Tresniowski combines two story strands:  the life of activist, journalist, and crusader Ida B. Wells, an icon of the Civil Rights movement, and the investigation of the brutal murder, in 1910 in Asbury Park, NJ, of 10-year-old Marie Smith.

“In this riveting true story, Alex Tresniowski tells the intertwined stories of a crusading reporter, an innovative detective, and a man unjustly imprisoned…You’ll read this in a night, I promise!” —Molly Oditz, Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Crime Books of 2021

Alex Tresniowski is a NY-based writer and author or coauthor of more than twenty books, including the 2005 true-crime thriller The Vendetta, which was used as a basis for the 2009 movie Public Enemies. He formerly worked for both Time and People magazines, handling mostly human-interest stories.
