The Del Mar Country Club will host a bank robber on Wednesday. Well, a writer about one of the most famous and successful bank robbers - Willie Sutton. Pulitzer prize-winning author J.R. Moehringer will sign copies of his first novel - titled Sutton - at 11:30 a.m., Wednesday.
Sutton made the FBI's first-ever Most Wanted List. And Moehringer blends fact with fiction for this 352-page book.
