About Burn Boston Burn: The Story Of The Largest Arson
Review "Wayne Miller puts the reader into the center of the action. From riding with investigators as they piece together a red-hot jigsaw puzzle, to walking the streets of Boston with the arsonists and thrill seekers themselves, sitting in the interrogation room with suspects and finally, into the courtroom for the climax of the case which stretched authorities to the limit. Wayne Miller's gripping investigative report Burn Boston Burn: The Story of the Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country is worth the time to read or listen. -Jordan Larsen, author of In the Heat of the Battle--Chicago's Bravest> and Lackland's Bravest--Real Life, Real Heroes "It's an explosively GREAT read! One of the most powerful books on true crimes that I've ever read! The author--the actual retired ATF special agent that led the manhunt for these firebugs-- does a great job seamlessly weaving all the intricate and massive aspects of a labor intensive investigation together like a master conductor with an orchestra. Burn Boston Burn covers the three-year investigation with intensively mounting suspense as it chronicles the heroic firefighters risking life and limb battling fire after fire, as multiple blazes keep popping up one after another in a single night, and night after night in an organized burning criminal syndicate that's as bizarre as it is dangerous." -Darren Burch, host of Badge Boys podcast, author of Twisted But True "The author includes many interesting details about the arsons and describes the viewpoints of both the arsonists and the investigators in this complex and difficult investigation. The author also includes the history and background of fires in the area, some excellent photos of the fires, and also insights into various aspects of firefighting and fire investigation." -Patricia (GoodReads reviewer) "Burn Boston Burn is one of the best books I've ever read--easily top 3! It's been a long time since a book has really brought me right to the foot of the action and to the breath of the conversation." -Chris Clarke, FirstDuePhotography Product Description The Largest True Crime Arson Case in America’s History In this astounding true crime narration a conspiracy of nine men, including three Boston cops and a Boston firefighter, burned Boston and surrounding communities in the early 1980’s due to tax-cutting measures that caused layoffs of hundreds of police and firefighters. The case was covered by national media in the early to mid-1980s. Over two years, these fire buffs, turned arsonists, torched 264 buildings, causing millions of dollars in damages and hundreds of injuries. The city was ablaze with nightly fires, sirens wailing through the streets and people too afraid to sleep. Burn Boston Burn interweaves the activities of the arsonists with those of the investigators, the firefighters and the citizens of the area. Readers will shake their heads in disbelief at the brazen and wanton actions of these political terrorists. The author, now retired ATF Special Agent Wayne Miller, lived this case for three years. A TV cameraman helped break the case when one of the cops waved his gun in the air at a massive fire as if he were at a rodeo. The case included a stolen police car dumped in Boston Harbor, a threat letter consisting of cut-out letters and plans to murder witnesses. After the Boston Police Officer/arsonist became a witness, 17 undercover contacts were used to perfect a Federal case. Agent Miller spent innumerable hours with those perpetrators who became Government witnesses. An arsonist’s journal provided the basis for chilling insights into their words, actions and thoughts. Mr. Miller now has regular contact with that arsonist who has provided additional information in support of Burn Boston Burn: The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country. Every firefighter who has heard of the story wants to read about it. Anyone interested in true crime, investigative procedures, the inner workings of a crimi
