Malden Public Library to Host Bill Powers Author TalkBill Powers photo

 

Bill Powers will be at the Malden Public Library on December 8th from 6-7pm for an author talk on his newly published book “When the Smoked Cleared: A Murder Mystery in Malden.” Early on a summer morning in 2000 what started off as possible arson in a Malden residential complex quickly turned into a homicide investigation. Detective Lieutenant Bill Powers was on-scene that morning as senior supervisor of the Massachusetts State Police Unit assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office. This true crime thriller takes the reader from the crime scene, through the trial prep and court proceedings, to the final verdict.  His position and direct involvement in the case offers a unique perspective on the people involved in solving and prosecuting capital crimes.

 

From the book “Beyond a police and courtroom procedural, this story is about the personal struggles in the victim’s life and how her death impacted her family’s lives in ways no one could have foreseen. It is a love story that grew from unspeakable tragedy.”
