Author Reading with Tawni O'Dell at Groton Public Library
Bank Square Books and Groton Public Library are excited to host an author talk and book signing with Tawni O'Dell (Angels Burning) on Friday, January 8, at 7 p.m. This event is free to the public, and books will be sold at the event.
Tawni O’Dell is the New York Times bestselling author of Angels Burning, a literary thriller about a small-town police chief who’s forced to dig into her own shadowy past as she investigates the murder of a teenage girl.
“Nothing kicks the winter doldrums like a nice fast-paced mystery,” says Elissa Englund, the event coordinator at Bank Square Books. “And what better way to spend a Friday night in January than in a cozy library?”
About Angels Burning
On the surface, Chief Dove Carnahan is a true trailblazer who would do anything to protect the rural Pennsylvanian countryside where she has lived all 50 of her years. Traditional and proud of her blue-collar sensibilities, Dove is loved by her community. But beneath her badge lies a dark and self-destructive streak, fed by a secret she has kept since she was sixteen. When a girl is beaten to death, her body tossed down a fiery sinkhole in an abandoned coal town, Dove is faced with solving the worst crime of her law-enforcement career.
With countless accolades to her credit, author Tawni O’Dell writes with the “fearless insights” (The New York Times Book Review) she brought to the page in Back Roads and One of Us. In this new, masterfully told psychological thriller, the past and present collide to reveal the extent some will go to escape their fate, and in turn, the crimes committed to push them back to where they began.
