Concord Festival of Authors: Mystery Night 2017
On Friday, November 3 at 7:30 p.m. three mystery writers will discuss and read from their work in the Main Library Rotunda. They are Katherine Hall Page, Jessica Treadway and Joseph Finder. The event is free and open to all.
Page is the author of twenty-three previous Faith Fairchild mysteries and a collection of short fiction, Small Plates. The recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at Malice Domestic, she has won multiple Agatha Awards and has been nominated for the Edgar, the Mary Higgins Clark, and the Macavity awards. In The Body in the Casket, the inimitable Faith Fairchild returns in a chilling New England whodunit, inspired by the best Agatha Christie mysteries and with hints of the timeless board game Clue.
Treadway’s previous novels include And Give You Peace, a Booklist Top Ten Debut Novel of the Year, and Lacy Eye which Publishers Weekly described as a “deftly plotted psychological thriller...a devastating portrait of a family torn apart from both the outside and within.”. She also is the author of two story collections, Absent Without Leave and Other Stories and Please Come Back to Me, which received the Flannery O’Connor Award for Short Fiction. Her latest novel, How Will I Know You? is a pulse-pounding story of mystery, betrayal, and a small town’s dark secrets.
Joseph Finder is the New York Times bestselling author of thirteen suspense novels. His novels High Crimes and Paranoia have been adapted as major motion pictures. Killer Instinct won the International Thriller Writers’ Thriller Award for Best Novel; Buried Secrets won the Strand Critics Award for Best Novel, while Company Man won the Barry Award for Best Thriller. In his latest novel, The Switch, a simple mix-up throws one innocent man into the crosshairs of sinister government secrets and ruthless political ambitions.
