520    Who was behind the brutal murder of my great-grandmother? 
       wondered Wayne Hoffman, a New York City-based journalist 
       and novelist. The crime wasn't just a family legend--it 
       made headlines across Canada in 1913--but her killer had 
       never been found. In THE END OF HER, Hoffman meticulously 
       researches this century-old tragedy, while facing another:
       his mother's decline from Alzheimer's. Weaving back and 
       forth between past and present, Hoffman invokes in 
       dramatic detail the life and death of his immigrant great-
       grandmother in Winnipeg, and his mother's downward spiral.
       In the process, he discovers an extended family that has 
       been scattered across thousands of miles for a hundred 
       years."--Back cover 
520    "Journalist Hoffman (Hard and two other novels) makes his 
       nonfiction debut with a riveting account of his dual 
       efforts to care for his aging mother and crack a century-
       old unsolved murder ... Hoffman makes the details of his 
       dogged research vivid ... and his conclusions about the 
       murder are convincing. Meanwhile, he movingly recounts his
       mother's increasing memory loss and overall decline. This 
       is a unique addition to the cold case subgenre, and a 
       powerful mix of true crime and family memoir."--Publishers
