Mystery Night 2024

The 2024 Concord Festival of Authors Mystery Night presents Gary Braver, Joanna Schaffhausen and James W. Ziskin on Monday, October 28, 7:00 p.m. in the Goodwin Forum, Main Library. Moderated by Concord's own mystery writer Kate Flora. Sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library. 

Gary Braver, pen name of Gary Goshgarian, is the internationally best-selling and award-winning author of 10 critically acclaimed mysteries and medical thrillers including Elixir, Gray Matter, Choose Me (co-written with Tess Gerritsen), and Flashback, the first thriller to have won a prestigious Massachusetts Book Award.

Joanna Schaffhausen wields a mean scalpel, skills she developed in her years studying neuroscience. She has a doctorate in psychology, which reflects her long-standing interest in the brain―how it develops and the many ways it can go wrong.

James W. Ziskin is the author of the Ellie Stone Mysteries, which have won the Anthony, Barry, and two Macavity awards.
