Howard Young’s “Dubbed: The “Green Mile” Burglar Of Silicon Valley” To Be Presented at the 2026 L.A. Times Festival of Books

Self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet will present “Dubbed: ‘The Green Mile’ Burglar of Silicon Valley” by Howard Young at the 2026 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) from April 18 to 19. The nation’s premier literary festival will take place at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. This celebrated annual event celebrates literature, arts, and culture, bringing together outstanding books, engaging activities, and unforgettable experiences for readers of all ages.

“Dubbed: ‘The Green Mile’ Burglar of Silicon Valley,” is a riveting memoir that tells the real-life story of the author, whose high-tech burglary spree shocked Silicon Valley and the nation.

Young’s journey begins in Roxbury, Massachusetts, a historic Black neighborhood of Boston, during the civil rights era. His upbringing shaped the man who would later undertake one of the region’s most notorious crime sprees. Between 2000 and 2004, Young targeted some of Silicon Valley’s leading tech companies, stealing specialized, high-end components in 26 meticulously planned burglaries.

Standing 6’7” and weighing over 300 pounds, he earned the nickname “The Green Mile Burglar” for his striking resemblance to the lead character in the famous book and film. He became an elusive figure known for wearing a suit and tie, gloves, and a cap during his heists, attracting the attention of law enforcement across three states and the FBI. His crimes resulted in nearly $3 million in losses for his victims.

Eventually apprehended on a $5 million warrant, Young served 17 years in a maximum-security prison. In “Dubbed,” he opens up about his motivations, actions, and the personal transformation that followed his release. With honesty and insight, he offers readers an unprecedented look into the mind of a high-profile criminal and the power of rehabilitation.
