Crime fiction often explores themes of loss: loss of life, humanity, and, perhaps most terrifying, one’s mind. What is it about meeting characters on the worst day of their lives that has intrigued readers for centuries? Find out from masters of the craft. New York Times bestseller Joseph Finder explores how a powerful person’s life can spiral out of control in an instant in Guilty Minds. The shadowy world of a terror plot drives Red Right Hand, by award-winning author Chris Holm. And in Say No More, Agatha Award winner Hank Phillippi Ryan’s tough reporter Jane Ryland tries to unravel the truth about a date rape and a hit and run crash. Join them in a conversation about the novels of murder and mayhem that we love, where truth is the only comfort. Moderated by Amy MacKinnon, author of Tethered.
