Our Guys: The Glen Ridge Rape and the Secret Life of the Perfect Suburb Volume 4 Hardcover - 1997
by Bernard Lefkowitz
In the idyllic suburb of Glen Ridge, New Jersey, four of the town's most popular high school athletes were accused of raping a mentally challenged young woman while nine of their teammates watched. What went wrong in this seemingly flawless American town? In search of the answer, Lefkowitz takes the reader behind the community's manicured facade into the shadowy basement that was the scene of the rape. 25 photos.
First line
Ros Faber didn't want to fret about her daughter, but she felt that familiar sense of uneasiness tug at her as she saw Leslie running down the steps in her sweats.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
A Los Angeles Times Prize Finalist
An Edgar Award Finalist "In this gripping book, Lefkowitz takes one single event--the brutal sexual assault on a slightly retarded young woman by several high profile high school athletes in suburban New Jersey--and brings his readers face to face with the smug arrogance of predatory male sexual entitlement. And he does it not with a sweeping analysis but with a novelist's eye for precise detail, a tightly wound tale, elegantly told."--Michael Kimmel, author of Manhood in America "Lefkowitz provides a graphic, faithful account of an amazing case--amazing because of the community's reaction to 'our guys' and the suspiciously drawn-out trial. Its true-crime approach could make Our Guys a bestseller."--Peggy Sanday, author of A Woman Scored: Acquaintance Rape on Trial
