Four authors will be dropping in to sign their books in the next couple of weeks:

By 5:00 on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd., I will have signed copies of The Given Day ($27.95), the first in a trilogy by Dennis Lehane. The store will be open from 5-7 if you want to pick it up that day (publication day).

Elizabeth Zelvin will be signing copies of Death will Make You Sober ($23.95) on Friday September 18th. This is a new series featuring Bruce Kohler, a newly recovered alcoholic whose new friend from detox is murdered. He suspects something fishy about the program and his friends encourage him to investigate, thinking if nothing else it will be a distraction from drinking. Zelvin, an alcoholic counselor, offers authenticity of setting.

Oct. 3, Cordelia Biddle will be dropping in to sign copies of Deception's Daughter ($24.95), the second in the Philadelphia heiress Martha Beale series. Biddle provides rich historical detail about the middle 1800s in Philadelphia, skillfully weaving people from different segments of society into another finely crafted mystery.

We also have a limited number of copies of Ridley Pearson's Killer View ($24.95), which brings back Sun Valley sheriff Walt Fleming. Fleming has his hands full as one of a search party disappears in a snow storm after a shot rings out and workers at a local bottling plant are going to the hospital in droves. Set against the rich backdrop of Sun Valley of the affluent and the working class people that make their life so pleasant, Pearson has written a taut, complex thriller.
