An Evening with Mark Bowden Online
Journalist Mark Bowden is a bestselling author of many books including the #1 New York Times bestseller Black Hawk Down. It was adapted as a motion picture of the same name that received two Academy Awards. He reported at The Philadelphia Inquirer for over twenty years and now writes for The Atlantic and other magazines.
Six captivating true-crime stories, spanning Mark Bowden’s long and illustrious career, cover a variety of crimes complicated by extraordinary circumstances. Winner of a lifetime achievement award from International Thriller Writers, Bowden revisits in The Case of the Vanishing Blonde: And Other True Crime Stories some of his most riveting stories and examines the effects of modern technology on the journalistic process.
From a story of a campus rape at the University of Pennsylvania in 1983 that unleashed a moral debate over the nature of consent when drinking and drugs are involved to three cold cases featuring the inimitable Long Island private detective Ken Brennan and a startling investigation that reveals a murderer within the LAPD’s ranks, these stories are the work of a masterful narrative journalist at work.
