Mystery Authors to Speak at Library

Mystery fans, mark your calendar for Thursday, October 28, at 7:30 pm when acclaimed whodunit authors SJ Rozan and Daniel Judson will be at Westport Library to talk with the Connecticut Post's Joe Meyers about mystery-writing and their new books, On the Line and Voyeur.

On the Line is Edgar-winner Rozan's 10th novel featuring New York City PIs Bill Smith and Lydia Chin, who, this time, find the tables turned when Lydia gets kidnapped and Bill, whom the cops consider a suspect in at least one murder, has to find her alone. Shamus-winner

Judson's Voleur features former Manhattan gumshoe-turned-South Hampton-liquor-store-owner Rehmer, who gets drawn into investigating the disappearance of a former employee when her mother fears that she'll be next targeted for murder. The program is free and open to the public and will be held in the Library's McManus Room. Books will be available for purchase and signing afterwards.
