SATURDAY: Sebastian Junger at the Booksmith

The author of the bestselling The Perfect Storm turns out another mindbender with A Death in Belmont. SEBASTIAN JUNGER grew up in Belmont, and he calmly inquires into the facts surrounding the murder of Belmont resident Bessie Goldberg and its possible link to the Boston Strangler killing spree. A plot this chilling could be written only by someone who was acquainted with the confessed Strangler himself. Junger reads and signs at the Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard St, Boston | 7 pm | free | 617.566.6660.
