If only most book tours were so upfront about the pain inflicted on their audiences.
Jose Canseco’s book Juiced is generating more than its share of controversy. It’s also provoking death threats.
The Chicago Tribune reported Saturday than an e-mail death threat submitted through Canseco’s Web site forced Canseco to halt his book-signing tour.
Canseco’s attorney Robert Saunooke told the paper the FBI is investigating the threat and has identified the sender of the e-mail with help from AOL.
“We are not taking the threat lightly,” Saunooke told the paper. “It’s not that I believe Jose is in immediate danger. He’s a black belt in three different kinds of karate, so he can take care of himself. We are more concerned about the people who come to the book signing.”
