Stephen L. Carter – Jericho’s Fall
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Stephen L. Carter, whose brilliant debut The Emperor of Ocean Park spent eleven weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, will read from and sign his eagerly anticipated new novel Jericho’s Fall ($25.95 Random House). Turning his formidable talents to the shadowy world of spies, official secrecy, and financial fraud, Carter has created a thriller that rivets the reader’s attention until the very last page. An intricate and timely thriller that plumbs the emotional depths of a failed love affair and a family torn apart by mistrust, Jericho’s Fall takes readers on a fast-moving journey through the secretive world of intelligence operations and the meltdown of the financial markets.
