Elon Green’s non-fiction work grows out of his journalism career, applying long-form investigative techniques to stories that have been overlooked or poorly told. Last Call is both a true crime narrative and a social history, tracing how bigotry shaped the response — or lack of response — to a string of murders.

His follow-up, The Man Nobody Killed, continues his interest in cases where the official story doesn’t hold up. Green writes with a journalist’s eye for detail and a commitment to treating his subjects as people rather than plot devices.
