AUTHOR VERDEGAN HOSTS NINE-DATE “MONFILS 6 CASE – 30 YEARS LATER” BOOK TOUR IN DECEMBER

(Dunbar, WI) – Best-selling author and Dunbar, Wis. resident, Joe Verdegan, has announced a nine-date book tour for his newest true crime book, “The Monfils 6 Case – 30 Years Later,” to take place in December 2025.

Verdegan’s latest book covers the 1992 James River Paper Mill death of Tom Monfils in Green Bay. Monfils’ body was found at the bottom of a paper mill vat in November 1992. Six men were convicted in Monfils’ death. Each received a life sentence following a six-week trial in the fall of 1995.

In “The Monfils 6 Case – 30 Years Later,” Verdegan interviews dozens of key players in the case, including four of the defendants who spent decades behind bars – Mike Piaskowski, Keith Kutska, Michael Johnson and Mike Hirn. Verdegan also talked to a pair of key players on the prosecution side of the case – lead investigator Randy Winkler, and current Brown County District Court judge and the prosecuting District Attorney in this case, John Zakowski.

The book tour will kick off Saturday, Dec. 6, at Townline Pub & Grill in Howard from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The tour will wrap up on Sunday, Dec. 21, at Lenny’s Tap in Green Bay from 12 p.m. until 3 p.m. Five of the signings will be held in Brown County, while four of the signings will take place in Marinette County.

Verdegan will have his other seven book titles available at each of the book signings, including his Amazon No. 1 2020 best-seller, “The Reformatory – Tales from Green Bay’s Maximum-Security Prison.” Verdegan worked as an officer at the often-dangerous penitentiary for nearly 27 years.
