AUGUST CRIME CLUB SELECTION

DATE NIGHT WITH CRIME!

Bring your spouse, partner or pals for an evening with Gregg Hurwitz, one of the fastest-rising stars in crime fiction. THE CRIME WRITER is a major step forward for Hurwitz, who was already doing pretty well as the author of the Tim Rackley series. This standalone is the story of crime novelist and convicted murderer Andrew Danner, who was found guilty but insane in the murder of his ex-fiancee. Police caught him standing over her stabbed corpse, having a seizure caused by a brain tumor. Danner has no memory of that night, and feels a desperate need to find out what really happened – especially when another woman is killed in a similar way, and trace evidence puts Danner at the scene of that crime, too.
