Events

The Booksellers at Laurelwood are thrilled to host Ace Atkins for a signing event for his 2 new novels.  Fresh from 10 years as a U.S. Army Ranger, Quinn Colson finds his hands full as the newly elected sheriff of Tibbehah County, Mississippi.  An old buddy running a local gun shop may be in over his head when stolen army rifles start showing up in the hands of a Mexican drug gang. At the same time, an abused-child case leads Quinn and his tough-as-nails deputy, Lillie Virgil, deep into the heart of a bootleg baby racket and a trail of darkness and death. And when the two cases collide, Quinn and his allies are forced to realize that, though they may be home from the war, they are now in the fight of their lives.  Boston P.I. Spenser lives on in the stunning new entry in the "New York Times" bestselling series from critically acclaimed, award-winning novelist Ace Atkins set in Boston's Dorchester and Southie projects. When fourteen-year-old Mattie Sullivan asks Spenser to look into her mother's murder, he's not completely convinced by her claim that the police investigation four years ago was botched. Mattie’s need for closure and her determination to make things right hit Spenser where he lives- they're the very characteristics he abides by. Spenser will need help to find peace for Mattie - a job that's more dangerous than he ever thought.
