Author J. Andre Boles will visit the Ojai Library at 2 pm on Saturday, March 2, to talk about his books Monster on Gypsy Hill and Piercing the Lion Heart.
Monster on Gypsy Hill is the true crime tale of the search for the killer or killers of six pretty, young, middle-class women randomly slaughtered by the Gypsy Hill Slasher. Victim number seven, a mental patient, spent thirty-five years in prison for one of the Slasher’s crimes. This soon to be released book tells how good cops and lawyers righted the wrongs of bad cops and lawyers.
Ex-cop, ex-lawyer, and award-winning true crime author J. Andre Boles lives in the mountains in California’s coastal range where he writes about cops, crime, and the justice system. Autographed books will be available for purchase following this talk. This event is free and open to the public.
