Author Wayne Miller will discuss his new book, "Burn Boston Burn: The Story of the Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country." Relive how a conspiracy of nine men, including three Boston cops and a Boston firefighter, burned Boston and surrounding communities in the early 1980s. Their arson destroyed 264 buildings, causing millions in damages and hundreds of injuries. Their motive? Tax-cutting measures that caused layoffs of hundreds of police and firefighters. Miller investigated the case as a Special Agent, Criminal Investigator and Certified Fire Investigator for the U. S. Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. During his 25-year career, he has examined more than 2,300 fire and explosion scenes, responded to over 25 major incidents, and testified as an expert in more than 40 cases in Federal and State courts in civil and criminal cases. "Burn Boston Burn" is his first book. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
