A best-selling crime novelist got a good scare on Thursday night when fiction came true for the 60-year-old who saw four masked men at his property in Calabasas, California.
Lee Goldberg, 62, the author of the book series Monk et Diagnosis Murderwas alerted by surveillance cameras to his US$2.84 million property.
The intruders were wearing the same clothes.
The author quickly contacted the police, according to the New York Post. He told KTLA 5 that the four individuals appeared to be “professionals who were organized.”
Lee Goldberg claimed to be “troubled”, since he would never have believed that his fiction would become reality.
The four criminals fled before the police arrived.
“Once once more, my fiction is coming true, wrote the main interested party on Facebook. Chilean burglars play a big part in my next Eve Ronin novel. So what’s going on? [Jeudi] night they tried to hit my house… while I was inside.”
Lee Goldberg added that fiction had already come true with the book Lost Hills.
“I ended the book with a massive forest fire in the Santa Monica Mountains and a few months later it happened, just as I described it,” he continued.
The sector is the target of several criminals, according to statistics from Open Justice. From 2019 to 2022, there were 125 crimes involving property in the city of Calabasas, of which 271 offenses were residential burglaries.
