Wayne Worcester, a former reporter and editor at the Providence Journal in Rhode Island, is an essayist, novelist and Professor of Journalism Emeritus at the University of Connecticut in Storrs where he taught news, feature and magazine writing as well as editing and literary journalism to hundreds of undergraduates from 1987 to 2013. His work has been published or noted nationally and internationally in venues ranging from newspapers to magazines, anthologies, textbooks, journals and online Web sites. With publication of two paperback-original novels, "The Monster of St. Marylebone" (1999) and "The Jewel of Covent Garden" (2000), Worcester became one of the first and most prophetic US authors to re-imagine Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's immortal detective Sherlock Holmes for a controversially modern audience. Worcester's most recent book, with co-authors Tim White and Randall Richard, is "The Last Good Heist." The work is an insider's account of one of the biggest armed robberies in U.S. history, the bold ransacking of a secret Mafia stronghold in Providence, R.I. on August 14, 1975.
