Chills close to home...

For true crime readers, don't miss Predator.  Author Steven Walker details the chilling crime spree of Timothy Krajcir, who was ultimately convicted for crimes committed since the 1970's by the introduction of DNA testing of evidence.  This page-turner hits close to home and certainly made me check the locks.  Krajcir actually lived in Laurys Station in the early 80's and was arrested at the Mountainville shopping center in South Allentown.  He was then held for a time at Lehigh County Prison (where he attempted to escape by scaling the prison wall), before being sentenced to 5 years in Pennsylvania's largest maximum security correctional facility, Graterford. 
Author Walker will be speaking at PCL about his research into these crimes and writing in the true crime genre - Monday, October 25th from 7 - 8PM.  To reserve a seat for this event, contact Erin at 610-398-1361, ext. 13.  PCL calendar entry:  http://catalog.parklandlibrary.org/Parkland/calendar.asp?cal=45&detail=1708&date=10/25/2010
