Authors Ken Widner and Mike Lynch will return to the Rock for a three-day book signing event on Alcatraz Island, spotlighting their bestselling book "Alcatraz: The Last Escape." The event brings the mystery full circle as Widner, nephew of escapees John and Clarence Anglin, and co-author Lynch share new insights, artifacts, and stunning revelations about the legendary 1962 prison break.
Their book unveils dramatic new information, including the escapees' connection to mob boss Mickey Cohen, a covert flight to Mexico by pilot Fred Brizzi, and rare photographs that rewrite the narrative of what really happened after the escape.
"This is more than a signing--it's the return of a story that's been buried for decades," says Widner. "We're bringing it back to where it began, with the truth finally in hand."
Tickets to the island are available through Alcatraz City Cruises.
