A Conversation with Author Mike Dauplaise

Meet Mike Dauplaise author of the true crime story TORTURE AT THE BACK FORTY: The true story of the murder of Margaret Anderson — raped on a pool table and left for dead near a manure pile — shocked the populace of Green Bay, Wisconsin, during the 1983 Christmas holiday. Though nearly beheaded, the single mother fought hard for her life, but in the end Margaret died, leaving her teen son motherless. Author Mike Dauplaise practically makes the reader feel Margaret’s last breaths as he recreates the night she was killed. He then takes us to her home state of Montana, and finally along on the investigative pursuit of a lifetime. This America’s Most Wanted drama ends nearly five years later with the capture of the last of her four attackers. Dauplaise exposes the motorcycle-gang culture of the 1980s to reveal what was done to Margaret, and the subsequent efforts to bring her attackers to justice. True-crime enthusiasts will revel in the detail and the manhunt. Join us for a conversation about the real monsters that haunt our world!
