Author Talk with Bill Lindstrom @ Lacey Timberland Library
Feb 21 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm
Author Talk with Bill Lindstrom @ Lacey Timberland Library | Lacey | Washington | United States

Veteran newsman Bill Lindstrom has pursued the truth about John Tornow for almost 3 decades. Among the several outcomes of his work is a new book, “John Tornow: Villain or Victim?” Lindstrom will present a slide show and discuss the book, the research and the Tornow legend at two Timberland libraries in February:

This meticulously researched history reads like a blend of mystery and tragedy as it reinterprets the life of an enigmatic man accused of heinous crimes. Lindstrom poured over century-old court documents, transcriptions, contemporary news articles and interviews to produce an authoritative and compassionate account. He brings the Tornow family’s life and times alive, describing the daily routines and personal sorrows that led up to multiple murders, a 19-month manhunt and an enduring Northwest legend.

Books will be available for sale and signing at this event. All programs at Timberland libraries are free and open to the public.

For information, contact the individual library or visit www.TRL.org.
