We are happy to welcome back J. F. Englert as he reads and signs A Dog Among Diplomats, the second mystery to feature Randolph, the black Lab canine sleuth we first met last year in the thoroughly delightful  A Dog About Town.  This caper takes Randolph to the United Nations and the bitchiest dog run in town.  For anyone who might think twice about sentient pet investigators: Randolph is like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson who communicates using the technology at hand, er, at nose, and his detecting is well-laced with a dog's perspective of life in the city.

See you here! And if you can't make it to our events, be sure and call us at 212-243-0440 or email us at partners@crimepays.com for a signed copy of the book you crave.

Meet Michael Gruber as he reads and signs his new novel, The Forgery of Venus. Is there anything this guy can't write a fabulous mystery about? First we got belief systems - shamanism, formal religion and animism; then we got the creative process including a lost Shakespeare play, intellectual property rights and the law, and film fanatics (all in one novel, no less). The new one continues with the creative process but is centered on the visual arts: the paintings of Velasquez, the contemporary art scene and a little time travel. It's, again, not to be missed!
