Piano Space

Join local author Wayne M. Miller as he discusses his book, Burn Boston Burn: The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country.

I will highlight 4 fires that occurred in Dedham.

Burn Boston Burn-The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country is an astounding true crime narration. A conspiracy of 9 men, including 3 Boston cops and a Boston firefighter, burned Boston and surrounding communities in the early 1980s due to tax-cutting measures that caused layoffs of hundreds of police and firefighters.

Over 2 years, these fire buffs, turned arsonists, torched 264 buildings, causing millions of dollars in damages and hundreds of injuries. The city was ablaze with nightly fires, sirens wailing through the streets, and people too afraid to sleep.

This book interweaves the activities of the arsonists with those of the investigators, the firefighters and the citizens of the area. Readers will shake their heads in disbelief at the brazen and wanton actions of these political terrorists.

For adults. Registration required. Contact Ari at apappas@minlib.net with any questions.

 Following the talk, there will be time for audience Q&A. Wayne M. Miller will also have copies of his books for a sale and signing afterward.
