Rocky Mountain Land Series with Walter Borneman - Rival Rails
Start: 7:30 pm

Robert Greer - First of State
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Robert Greer is a professor of pathology, medicine, surgery, and dentistry at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Denver, where he specializes in head and neck pathology and cancer research. He is the author of eight previous CJ Floyd mysteries. Greer will read from and sign his new novel First of State ($24.95 North Atlantic Books), a prequel to his CJ Floyd mystery series, which takes readers back in time to a very young CJ Floyd. Equally a white-knuckle-ride murder mystery and a tale of a traumatized young man coming to terms with his past, First of State features the kind of fresh characters, street-smart dialogue, and ingenious plot twists that have made this series a critical and commercial success.
