This Weekend 11-14: Anthony Flacco
By: readinglocalseattle Categories: Today
Anthony Flacco will be at Seatle’s Mystery Bookshop to sign books at noon on Satuday. Of his true crime book, Reading Local contributor Jim Thomsen wrote in a recent review, “The book, a dramatic recreation of the sex-driven child-murder spree in the late 1920s that inspired the Clint Eastwood-Angelina Jolie movie vehicle The Changeling, is told in a breathless you-are-there style that depends almost exclusively on dramatically recreated scenes between the book’s hero, teenager Sanford Clark, and its villain, homicidally sadistic uncle Gordon Stewart Northcott. It’s a style that well suits Flacco, a onetime stage actor.”
