Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi, The Monster of Florence

Crime novelist Douglas Preston’s chilling account of a legendary serial killer, known as the “Monster of Florence,” who continues to haunt the Italian police, courts, people, and himself even after 40 years. Mario Spezi is an Italian journalist who has been investigating the Monster of Florence case since the first murders in 1974. Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi will be interviewed by Sarah Weinman, author of the blog Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, followed by a Q & A and book signing.

Note: This will be the only venue in America here Mario Spezi will also be signing books.
