SUMMARY:Kate White launches her new Bailey Weggins Mystery Such a Perfect Wife
DESCRIPTION:On a sunny morning in late September\, Shannon Blaine sets off for a jog along the rural roads near her home in Lake George\, New York.  It’s her usual a.m. routine\, her “me time” after dropping the kids off at school…except on this day she never returns. Is her husband lying when he says he has no clue where she is? Could Shannon have split on her own\, overwhelmed by the pressures of her life? Or is she the victim of a sexual predator who had been prowling the area and snatched her before she knew what was happening.True crime writer Bailey Weggins\, on assignment for the website Crime Beat\, heads north from New York City to report on the mysterious disappearance. An anonymous tip soon leads Bailey to a grisly\, bone-chilling discovery. Every town has its secrets\, Bailey reminds herself\, and nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. She keeps digging for answers until—when it’s almost too late—she unearths the terrifying truth. \n\n\n  \nKate White will be in discussion with forensic medicine expert Barbara Butcher on    “How to Commit the Perfect Murder”

SUMMARY:Sande Boritz Berger reads from her new book Split-Level
DESCRIPTION:In Split-Level\, set as the nation recoils from Nixon\, Alex Pearl is about to commit the first major transgression of her life. But why shouldn’t she remain an officially contented\, soon-to-turn-thirty wife? She’s got a lovely home in an upscale Jersey suburb\, two precocious daughters\, and a charming husband\, Donny. But Alex can no longer deny she craves more—some infusion of passion into the cul-de-sac world she inhabits. \nAfter she receives a phone call from her babysitter’s mother reporting that Donny took the teen for a midnight ride\, promising he’d teach her how to drive\, Alex insists they attend Marriage Mountain\, the quintessential 1970s “healing couples sanctuary.” Donny accedes—but soon becomes obsessed with the manifesto A Different Proposition and its vision of how multiple couples can live together in spouse-swapping bliss. At first Alex scoffs\, but soon she gives Donny much more than he bargained for. After he targets the perfect couple to collude in his fantasy\, Alex discovers her desire for love escalating to new heights—along with a willingness to risk everything. Split-Level evokes a pivotal moment in the story of American matrimony\, a time when it seemed as if an open marriage might open hearts as wel

SUMMARY:Eugene Linden reads from his debut novel Deep Past
DESCRIPTION:A routine dig in Kazakhstan takes a radical turn for thirty-two-year-old anthropologist Claire Knowland when a stranger turns up at the site with a bizarre find from a remote section of the desolate Kazakh Steppe. Her initial skepticism of this mysterious discovery gives way to a realization that the find will shake the very foundations of our understanding of evolution and intelligence. Corrupt politics of Kazakhstan force Claire to take reckless chances with the discovery.  Among the allies she gathers in her fight to save herself and bring the discovery to light is Sergei Anachev\, a brilliant but enigmatic Russian geologist who becomes her unlikely protector even as he deals with his own unknown crisis. Ultimately\, Claire finds herself fighting not just for the discovery and her academic reputation\, but for her very life as great power conflict engulfs the unstable region and an unscrupulous oligarch attempts to take advantage of the chaos. Drawing on Eugene Linden’s celebrated non-fiction investigations into what makes humans different from other species\, this international thriller mixes fact and the fantastical\, the realities of academic politics\, and high stakes geopolitics—engaging the reader every step of the way.

SUMMARY:Roxana Robinson reads from her new book Dawson's Fall
DESCRIPTION:In Dawson’s Fall\, a novel based on the lives of Roxana Robinson’s great-grandparents\, we see America at its most fragile\, fraught\, and malleable. Set in 1889\, in Charleston\, South Carolina\, Robinson’s tale weaves her family’s journal entries and letters with a novelist’s narrative grace\, and spans the life of her tragic hero\, Frank Dawson\, as he attempts to navigate the country’s new political\, social\, and moral landscape. \nDawson\, a man of fierce opinions\, came to this country as a young Englishman to fight for the Confederacy in a war he understood as a conflict over states’ rights. He later became the editor of the Charleston News and Courier\, finding a platform of real influence in the editorial column and emerging as a voice of the New South. With his wife and two children\, he tried to lead a life that adhered to his staunch principles: equal rights\, rule of law\, and nonviolence\, unswayed by the caprices of popular opinion. But he couldn’t control the political whims of his readers. As he wrangled diligently in his columns with questions of citizenship\, equality\, justice\, and slavery\, his newspaper rapidly lost readership\, and he was plagued by financial worries. Nor could Dawson control the whims of the heart: his Swiss governess became embroiled in a tense affair with a drunkard doctor\, which threatened to stain his family’s reputation. In the end\, Dawson—a man in many ways representative of the country at this time—was felled by the very violence he vehemently opposed.
