Midnight Comes to Dayton – This Friday

Friday Oct 11
PAUL FRENCH
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11; 7 PM
PAUL FRENCH will discuss the paperback edition of his true-crime book, Midnight in Peking: How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China. French, an historian and China expert, has opened the books on a 75-year old unsolved murder of Pamela Werner, a British schoolgirl, and offers a glimpse into the last days of Colonial Peking, delving into Peking’s seedy underworld of crime, drugs, and prostitution.
In the tradition of the true crime classics White Mischief and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Midnight in Peking transforms a front page murder into an absorbing and emotional expose, bringing the last days of old Peking to life.
