ATTICA LOCKE discusses and signs BLACK WATER RISING at the PALMS-RANCHO PARK LIBRARY
BLACK WATER RISING is nominated for an Edgar Award this year, so come see a rising star. African-American lawyer Jay Porter used to be a civil rights activist. Now Jay just keeps his head down and tries to make a living for himself. When he saves a white woman from drowning one night, it plunges him into a tangled web at the heart of Houston's power structure, and forces him to confront secrets from his own past. The Palms-Rancho Park library is at 2920 Overland Avenue, Los Angeles; the event and parking are free. Call 310-840-2142 for directions and more information.
