Watch For His Next Project. Devil In The White City
Devil in the White City is the True Crime book to read. It's long been my favourite true crime, and a fantastic place to start if you're just getting into the genre. I'm thrilled this book is currently in production with Leo taking on a major role, that little tidbit is also the reason I wanted to write this blog. Get ahead of the curve and grab your copy now.
