ASTON — Neumann University in Aston will present author Bruce Mowday, who will discuss “A Killer at the Door,” his new book about a murderer on the loose in Chester County.

The event is Thursday, Oct. 23 at 1:30 p.m. in the Meagher Theatre on campus.

After Danilo Cavalcante was convicted of the brutal killing of his girlfriend in front of her children, he crab-walked up and over a Chester County Prison wall while a guard was on the phone. The escape led police on a two-week search before he was apprehended. The book details the search and capture as well as the terror experienced by the community while the killer was loose.

Mowday is an award-winning writer and newspaper reporter, authoring more than 25 books on history, sports, business and true crime.
