Louise Stanton Warren Book Signing

Please join us as we welcome author, Louise Stanton Warren, as she signs her book, Fatal Switch: Murder on the Panama Road.  

With critical accuracy, in Fatal Switch: Murder on the Panama Road, Louise Stanton Warren has narrated the tale of Jacksonville's most momentous trial of the modern era. Warren's rich historical detail of Victorian Northeast Florida provides the backdrop for two compelling murders and a homicide trial. Fatal Switch covers the two murders-both tragic, one grisly-that gripped the city in 1890s and with a gimlet eye recorded the workings of the "justice" system at the time.  Warren recounts the murder trial of Edward Pitzer with glorious detail-all of the imperfections in a 19th century trial, including sexism, racism, and downright chicanery. Fatal Switch is a fine read for fans of both history and courtroom drama.
