Two talented novelists talk mystery and historical fiction and the 1980s as they discuss and sign their recent books at Library Shop Mission Hills. T Greenwood presents "Everything Has Happened" and Élan Les Vies shares "The Lemon Twist." This event is free and open to the public. Proceeds from book purchases support the San Diego Public Library. ABOUT THE BOOKS "Everything Has Happened": A disappearance from the past echoes in the future in this ambitious and wrenching mystery, perfect for readers of "The God of the Woods." Four decades have passed since Edie Marshall’s little brother, Charlie, vanished on his walk home from day camp. After the case went cold, Edie never left, her dreams disappearing right along with Charlie. Now she teaches at her old high school, and has returned to her childhood home to care for an ailing mother. When the long-dormant tip line set up for Charlie rings for the first time in years, Edie assumes it’s a wrong number— but on the other end is Jericho Jenkins, the only person of interest ever identified in the investigation. "The Lemon Twist": In 1984, Iris Sailor’s brutal fall on the ice unravels everything— her memory, doping secret, and figure skating career. Dumped by her coach/boyfriend and banned from competing, Iris finds herself utterly alone, wishing there was some way she could reconnect with her estranged sister, Sam. When she returns home after her fall from grace, she finds an old postcard tucked alongside the rest of her mail. Strangely, the card advertising Nova Bay is postmarked September 14, 1981— the same day Sam disappeared. As she’s about to chuck it in the trash, Iris realizes there’s only one word scribbled on the back: HELP. ABOUT THE AUTHORS T. Greenwood is the author of sixteen novels.
