Book Launch & Author Talk: David Rich
|  Thursday, August 29, 7:30 PM Library Program Room Book Launch & Author Talk with David RichRidgefielder David Rich exploded onto the literary scene with his debut novel Caravan of Thieves, receiving comparisons to writing greats like Elmore Leonard, Robert Ludlum and John le Carré. Rich's background in screenwriting has lent itself to fast-paced scenes and complex plots that could be an episode of Homeland, as well as a main character that rivals Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher. His new book Middle Man (release date 8/29/13) is an edge-of-your-seat, gripping crime thriller set in the military world both domestic and foreign, featuring Marine Corps Lieutenant Rollie Waters. This program is co-sponsored by Books on the Common. Please register as space is limited. |
