Special Book Signing Event for “The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth & the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City”!
Join acclaimed journalist and author Robin Flinchum for a unique and exclusive book signing of her gripping new true-crime history, The Redemption of Julia Bulette: Murder, Myth & the Hunt for a Serial Killer in Early Virginia City.
On a freezing January night in 1867, Virginia City madam, and matriarch and namesake of E Clampus Vitus Chapter Julia C Bulette #1864, was brutally robbed and strangled in her bed. What followed was a sensational manhunt, a controversial trial, and a legend that has fascinated and animated the Comstock area ever since. Ms Flinchum peels back layers of myth to reveal the real story — including the shocking possibility of a serial killer stalking the boomtown’s streets. Did John Millain create a trail of tragedy stretching from San Francisco’s Tenderloin to Julia’s ultimate demise on “Sporting Row” in Virginia City? Curious minds wonder?
Ms Flinchum will appear at the historic Moran Building (home of E Clampus Vitus Chapter Julia C. Bulette #1864) in Virginia City, Nevada, on Saturday, May 2, at 9:30 a.m. for a book signing and will entertain your questions. This is a truely unique opportunity to meet the author, get a signed copy, and dive deep into one of Nevada’s most enduring frontier mysteries.
Attentive readers will note that the cover of the book is a wonderful photograph of one of JCB #1864’s most prized possessions, a special Figural Whiskey Decanter in the form of Julia, taken at the Moran building.
