The Unicorn's Secret by Steven LevyMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was born in 1970, so was never really cognizant of the murder of Holly Maddux as a new story, but I certainly noticed in the 2001 coverage of his extradition from France after being on the lam for over 20 years. I wanted to read this book to see what was known before he disappeared, as this book was published while Einhorn's whereabouts were unknown.
His activity in ecological groups and the counterculture, anti-establishment and anti-war movements of the 1960s and 1970s and participation in the first Earth Day event in Philadelphia in 1970 while maintaining lunches with corporate execs and an international correspondence around Tesla technology and "psychotronic" mind military tech (remote viewing, etc.) connect this to The Men Who Stare At Goats. It was a period when anything seemed possible and connected nd conspiratorial and Einhorn navigated that landscape with aplomb.
Even when this book was written, it seemed undeniable he murdered his former girlfriend as a culmination of generally misogynistic behavior and let her corpse mummify in his apartment closet for years. Fortunately, he is now incarcerate with a mandatory life term without the possibility of parole: Pennsylvania inmate number ES6859.
