SUMMARY:John Lescroart w/ K.J. Howe
DESCRIPTION:There are twenty-five elite kidnap and ransom (K&R) specialists in the world. Only one is a woman: Thea Paris. And she’s the best in the business. \nIn The Freedom Broker\, twenty years ago\, a terrified young boy was abducted in the middle of the night by masked intruders while his sister watched\, paralyzed with fear. Returned after a harrowing nine months with his captors\, Thea’s brother has never been the same. \nThis life-shattering experience drove Thea to become what she is today: a world-class freedom broker. Most hostage-recovery work is done at the negotiation table\, but when diplomacy fails\, Thea leads Quantum Security International’s black-ops team on highly sensitive rescue missions to political hot spots around the globe. \nHer childhood nightmare resurfaces when her oil magnate father\, Christos Paris\, is snatched from his yacht off Santorini on his sixtieth birthday\, days away from the biggest deal of his career. The brutal kidnappers left the entire crew slaughtered in their wake\, but strangely\, there are no ransom demands\, no political appeals\, no prisoner release requests-just obscure and foreboding texts written in Latin sent from burner phones. \nKnowing the survival window for kidnap victims is small\, Thea throws herself into the most urgent and challenging rescue mission of her life-but will she be able to prevent this kidnapping from destroying her family for good? \nK.J. Howe is the executive director of ThrillerFest\, the annual conference of International Thriller Writers. A three-time Daphne du Maurier Award winner\, she completed her MA in Writing Popular Fiction at Seton Hill University. She is an avid traveler who has raced camels in Jordan\, surfed in Hawaii\, and dove with the great whites in South Africa. She became fascinated by the kidnap and ransom (K&R) world after meeting Peter Moore\, a British computer consultant who became the longest-held hostage in Iraq and the only person to survive of the five men who were taken that day. This is her debut novel. \n………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. \nFrom New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart\, a riveting standalone novel about the unexpected\, shattering\, and lethal consequences of a one-night stand on a seemingly happily married couple. \nKate loves her life. At forty-four\, she’s happily married to her kind husband\, Ron\, blessed with two wonderful children\, and has a beautiful home in San Francisco. Everything changes\, however\, when she and Ron attend a dinner party and meet another couple\, Peter and Jill. Kate and Peter only exchange a few pleasant words but that night\, in bed with her husband\, Kate is suddenly overcome with a burning desire for Peter. \nWhat begins as an innocent crush soon develops into a dangerous obsession and Kate’s fixation on Peter results in one intense\, passionate encounter between the two. Confident that her life can now go back to normal\, Kate never considers that Peter may not be so willing to move on. \nNot long after their affair\, a masked man barges into the café Kate is sitting in with her best friend\, firing an assault weapon indiscriminately into the crowd. This tragedy is the first in a series of horrifying events that will show Kate just how grave the consequences of one mistake can be. \nAn explosive story of infidelity\, danger\, and moral ambiguity\, John Lescroart’s latest thriller Fatal will excite and satisfy both his current and new fans. \nJohn Lescroart is the author of twenty-five previous novels\, including the New York Times bestsellers The Ophelia Cut\, The Keeper\, and The Fall. He lives in Northern California.

SUMMARY:RADAR Productions: Missing You
DESCRIPTION:RADAR Productions Presents: MISSING YOU–an investigation of queer memory in The Mission// \nCo-sponsored by the GLBT Historical Society// \nJoin us for a night of film\, storytelling and drag\nFebruary 18\, 2017\nBrava Theatre\n$10 pre-sale/ $15 at the door\n \nGet your tickets here:\nhttp://tinyurl.com/j5hsfro \nFeaturing:\n▼ The legendary ¡VIVA 16! documentary by Augie Robles and Valentín Aguirre\n▼ Storytelling by STILL HERE\n▼ Drag performance by Persia and special guests. \nShort narrative: This event investigates queer memory in The Mission. Through storytelling\, film and drag it is meant to unearth and materialize queer ghosts that linger in The Mission and investigate the transformations of memory and place. \n▼YOUR MEMORIES CAN BE PART OF THE SHOW! ▼\nWe’re collecting memories and creating a cosmology of queer memory. Share yours here:\nhttps://goo.gl/forms/Rc1W8KZAp6eMwbwZ2 \nABOUT–\n¡VIVA 16!\nThis film celebrates the emergence of a queer Latinx community in San Francisco. Using interviews and footage shot directly in queer Latinx spaces\, Valentin Aguirre and Augie Robles premiered this short documentary (27.5 minutes) in 1994. From Esta Noche\, to La India Bonita\, to AIDS activists ¡VIVA 16! bears witness to a resilient world of queer latinidad in and around 16th Street before the onslaught of gentrification. \nSTILL HERE\nStill Here San Francisco amplifies the voices and experiences of Queer/LGBTQI people raised in San Francisco. Still Here disrupts the assumption that everyone in San Francisco is from somewhere else and exposes essential narratives about coming out\, loss\, HIV/AIDS\, class and economic disparity\, and the meaning of home and family in a “gay mecca.” By sharing their San Francisco stories\, Still Here’s artists re-imagine\, re-invent\, and re-examine San Francisco’s (queer) history and remind us that they are steadily “Still Here.”
