6:30 PM – Earl Emerson: Cape Disappointment
SPL Ballard Branch
Number 3 in Emerson’s local book tour. If you missed him at Seattle Mystery Bookshop on 2/28, or UW Bookstore on 3/10, well, the third time is the charm. To recap: “After a 10 year hiatus, Seattle private eye Thomas Black is back… sort of. Recuperating in the hospital after being severely injured in an explosion which may or may not have killed his wife, Black suffers from flashbacks and hallucinations, in this disturbing addition to the series.”
