KEN WISHNIA AT THE MYSTERIOUS BOOKSHOP
Crime/thriller author Ken Wishnia will be signing copies of his book “From Sun to Sun” on Tuesday, July 2, 5p, at The Mysterious Bookshop, after which he will lead a mini walking book talk through the neighborhood. “From Sun to Sun” presents two parallel stories separated by 25 centuries. The first, set in modern New York City, features a hardworking, smart-mouthed Latina investigator as she hunts for a missing person who holds the clue to an ancient mystery. (Parts of that take place in The Mysterious Bookshop.) The ancient story is a radical revision of the Biblical Book of Ruth. See more about the book here.
