Finn (aka Dan Mallory), who wrote the twisted tale, <i>The Woman in the Window</i>. Despite that being his debut novel, it appears he's had a long history of writing fiction in his own background. (Fortunately for his mother and brother, the tales of their deaths were greatly exaggerated.) It's all captured in the current <i>New Yorker.</i>John Davis Frainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020019400599228492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-7692427296471042252019-02-11T20:13:21.861-05:002019-02-11T20:13:21.861-05:00Congrats, Nate.
