Drawn to stories of danger and adventure, Sebastian Junger is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist and author of the New York Times bestsellers The Perfect Storm and Fire. His new book, A Death In Belmont, begins with an unsettling mystery from Sebastian Junger’s own family history: Did his mother narrowly escape the Boston Strangler? In March 1963, Bessie Goldberg was strangled to death in her home in Belmont, MA. On the day of the murder, Albert DeSalvo--the man who would eventually confess in lurid detail to the Strangler’s crimes--is also in Belmont, working as a carpenter at the Jungers’ home.
