SUMMARY:Meet-the-Author: MAUREEN BOYLE
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Boyle\, an award-winning journalist originally from 
 Bridgeport\, Connecticut\,  has been a crime reporter in New England for 
 more than 25 years. She was the first to cover the New Bedford\, 
 Massachusetts highway serial killer which she detailed in Shallow Graves.  
 Her latest book\, The Ghost: The Murder of Police Chief Greg Adams and the 
 Hunt for His Killer\, explores the search for the chief’s murderer that 
 spans decades.  She holds an undergraduate degree in journalism from the 
 University of Bridgeport and a master's degree in criminal justice from 
 Anna Maria Maureen Boyle discuss her latest book that explores the 1980 
 murder of Police Chief Greg Adams and the shocking discovery of his 
 killer’s remains in a quiet Dartmouth neighborhood. She is currently the 
 director of the journalism program at Stonehill College in Easton\, 
 Massachusetts.\n\nAbout her new book\, THE GHOST:\n\nBefore James 
 “Whitey” Bulger\, a Boston mobster\, topped the FBI Most Wanted list\, 
 cop killer Donald E. Webb was the man the FBI most wanted to catch. Webb 
 was a low-level mobster who committed crimes throughout the East Coast\, 
 including Connecticut\, who killed the police chief in a small Pennsylvania 
 community. The Ghost details the decades long search for Webb and the 
 shocking way he was discovered. \n\nPolice Chief Greg Adams was out on 
 patrol. Christmas was coming to Saxonburg\, Pennsylvania-a quaint borough 
 of just 1\,300-in three short weeks. The winter air was crisp. Colored 
 lights sparkled on houses. He was only a block and a half from the Police 
 Department\, and this was just an average traffic stop.\n\nUntil it 
 wasn't.\n\nThe devoted husband and father of two little boys was about to 
 meet any law enforcement officer's nightmare. Moments later\, he would lay 
 dying in a pool of his own blood on that white winter snow\, while his 
 killer vanished like an apparition into thin air.\n\nDespite his many 
 aliases\, the true identity of the murderer was quickly found. The killer 
 himself\, was not. As State Police and FBI investigators peeled back the 
 twisted layers of low-level mobster Donald Webb's life\, the path to the 
 killer would wind through decades ... toward a shocking conclusion. After 
 all\, secrets can only be kept for so long.\n\n \n\nThe author program is 
 free and open to the public.  Autographed copies of THE GHOST will be 
 available for purchase after Boyle's talk.
