Local author Claudine Burnett will talk about her latest look into Long Beach’s mysterious and macabre past at Dana Neighborhood Library this Tuesday, May 26 at 6:30 pm. In Murderous Intent? Long Beach, California, 1880s-1920s, Burnett uncovers fascinating true stories from our city’s grisly past, including Long Beach’s first execution, infanticides, kidnapping and tortures.
After four books, she has perfected a light touch in depicting these grim tales, so expect to be entertained as well as informed by this delightful writer.
