A bestselling crime writer took on the role of a character in one of his own novels when he managed to thwart an attemped break-in of his Southern California home – thanks to security cameras that captured the frightening ordeal.
Lee Goldberg, who has penned dozens of crime novels including “Lost Hills” and “True Fiction,” was at home with his wife and daughter inside their Calabasas home when they got an alert on their iPad from the motion sensor just before 9pm on Thursday.
