SUMMARY:LYNDSAY FAYE at Books Inc. in Alameda
DESCRIPTION:Lyndsay Faye\, author of Edgar-nominated Jane Steele and Gods of Gotham\, will discuss her exciting new historical thriller\, The Paragon Hotel\, which follows Alice “Nobody” from Prohibition-era Harlem to Portland’s the Paragon Hotel. \nThe year is 1921\, and “Nobody” Alice James is on a cross-country train\, carrying a bullet wound and fleeing for her life following an illicit drug and liquor deal gone horribly wrong. Desperate to get as far away as possible from New York City and those who want her dead\, she has her sights set on Oregon: a distant frontier that seems the end of the line. \nShe befriends Max\, a black Pullman porter who reminds her achingly of Harlem\, who leads Alice to the Paragon Hotel upon arrival in Portland. Her unlikely sanctuary turns out to be the only all-black hotel in the city\, and its lodgers seem unduly terrified of a white woman on the premises. But as she meets the churlish Dr. Pendleton\, the stately Mavereen\, and the unforgettable club chanteuse Blossom Fontaine\, she begins to understand the reason for their dread. The Ku Klux Klan has arrived in Portland in fearful numbers—burning crosses\, inciting violence\, electing officials\, and brutalizing blacks. And only Alice\, along with her new “family” of Paragon residents\, are willing to search for a missing mulatto child who has mysteriously vanished into the Oregon woods. \nWhy was “Nobody” Alice James forced to escape Harlem? Why do the Paragon’s denizens live in fear—and what other sins are they hiding? Where did the orphaned child who went missing from the hotel\, Davy Lee\, come from in the first place? And\, perhaps most important\, why does Blossom Fontaine seem to be at the very center of this tangled web? \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, January 16\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc. in Alameda\n1344 Park St\n\nAlameda\, CA 94501

SUMMARY:MATT COYLE with TERRY SHAMES at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Joining Books Inc. in Berkeley for an evening of thrills and chills with award-winning mystery writer Matt Coyle sharing his intriguing new novel\, Wrong Light: Rick Cahill #5. Matt will be in conversation with Mystery Writers of America member Terry Shames\, author of the charming Samuel Craddock mystery series. \n\nAbout Wrong Light: Perfect for hard-boiled PI and Noir fans who like a tainted hero living by his own code.\n\nNaomi Hendrix’s sexy voice hovering over the radio waves isn’t the only thing haunting the Southern California nights. A demented soul is stalking Naomi\, hiding in the shadows of the night\, waiting for the right moment to snatch her and fulfill a twisted fantasy.\nWhen Naomi’s radio station hires PI Rick Cahill to protect Naomi and track down the stalker\, he discovers that Naomi is hiding secrets about her past that could help unmask the man. However\, before Rick can extract the truth from Naomi\, he is thrust into a missing person’s case–an abduction he may have unwittingly caused. The investigating detective questions Rick’s motives for getting involved and pressures him to stop meddling.\nWhile Rick pursues Naomi’s stalker and battles the police\, evil ricochets from his own past and embroils Rick in a race to find the truth about an old nemesis. Is settling the score worth losing everything?\n\n\nAbout An Unsettling Crime for Samuel Craddock: When the Jarrett Creek Fire Department is called to douse a blaze on the outskirts of town\, they discover a grisly scene: five black young people have been murdered. Newly elected Chief of Police Samuel Craddock\, just back from a stint in the Air Force\, finds himself an outsider in the investigation headed by the Texas Highway Patrol. He takes an immediate dislike to John Sutherland\, a racist trooper \nCraddock’s fears are realized when Sutherland arrests Truly Bennett\, a young black man whom Craddock knows and respects. Sutherland cites dubious evidence that points to Bennett\, and Craddock uncovers facts leading in another direction. When Sutherland refuses to relent\, Craddock is faced with a choice that will define him as a lawman–either let the highway patrol have its way\, or take on a separate investigation himself. \nAlthough his choice to investigate puts both Craddock and his family in danger\, he perseveres. In the process\, he learns something about himself and the limits of law enforcement in Jarrett Creek. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, January 16\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA
