Author Talk with Mary Noé: The Man Who Shot J.P. Morgan

The thrilling, true story of a prolific criminal’s many identities and exploits. The Man Who Shot J. P. Morgan is a riveting tale of false identities, radical political beliefs, and ambitious criminal schemes set during the tumultuous time shortly before the United States entered World War I. In 1906 and 1915, Cambridge, MA was the location of the national news story when a Harvard Ph.D. candidate and adjunct professor poisoned his wife nine days after childbirth. Cambridge police and court proceedings continued for nine years later when he emerged as a Cornell Ph.D. and bombed the U.S. Capitol and shot J.P. Morgan. This true story of deceit and brilliance is chronicled in Mary Noé’s narrative nonfiction book The Man Who Shot J.P. Morgan, A Life of Arsenic, Anarchy and Intrigue.
