Elon Green is a journalist whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, and other publications. His first book, Last Call, tells the story of a serial killer who murdered gay men in New York City bars during the early 1990s — crimes that went largely ignored by police and media at the time.

Green’s approach centers on the victims rather than the perpetrator, reconstructing their lives and the communities they belonged to. The book received widespread praise for its sensitive treatment of a case shaped by institutional homophobia and the social upheaval of the AIDS crisis.
