Description

On a freezing night in January 1993, masked gunmen walked through the laughably lax security at the Rochester Brink’s depot, tied up the guards, and unhurriedly made off with $7.4 million in one of the FBI’s top-five armored car heists in history.  In his book Seven Million: A Cop, A Priest, a Soldier for the IRA, and the Still-unsolved Rochester Brink’s Heist , Award winning Democrat and Chronicle reporter Gary Craig meticulously unwinds the long skein of leads, half-truths, false starts, and dead ends, taking us from the grim solitary pens of Northern Ireland’s Long Kesh prison to the illegal poker rooms of Manhattan to the cold lakeshore on the Canadian border where the body parts began washing up.  He will discuss the book and its 2022 transformation into the documentary, Holy Heist   Gary will present the case and will have the book available for sale and signing.
