A riveting and compelling portrait of a failed assassin who also happened to be a mother, socialite, activist, and spy. In 1975, suburban housewife Sara Jane Moore attempted to assassinate U.S. President Gerald Ford. Shadowed by the Secret Service, acclaimed auteur Robinson Devor conducts an unprecedented and chilling exploration of how a seemingly ordinary citizen can be swept into extremism, conspiracy, and violence.

With the rhythm of a gripping thriller and icy, espionage-inflected interviews, you’ll discover how the FBI recruited Moore to infiltrate leftist organizations. Her evolving viewpoints are supercharged by the hotbed of cultural and political activity that is 1970s America, as her story intersects with the Patty Hearst kidnapping, Black Panthers, Attica prison riots, and CIA-orchestrated regime change in Latin America.

Described as a "paranoid masterwork" by Richard Brody of the New Yorker, Moore's story feels eerily prescient and disturbingly prophetic. SUBURBAN FURY offers no easy answers; instead, it immerses you in one woman's unravelling, and the country that mirrored her fracture.
