SUMMARY:Bard's Alley: A Gambling Man Launch Event with David Baldacci and Angie Kim
DESCRIPTION:Relive the golden age of mysteries with David Baldacci and Bards Alley Bookshop! For the first stop on his A Gambling Man event circuit\, Baldacci will be joined by Angie Kim\, author of Miracle Creek\, for an in-conversation event that's sure to inform and entertain. Signed preorders available through our brick-and-mortar location. This event will take place virtually on April 20th at 7PM.\n\n \n\nPurchase your tickets via Eventbrite.\n\n \n\nDavid Baldacci is one of the world's bestselling and favourite thriller writers. A former trial lawyer with a keen interest in world politics\, he has specialist knowledge in the US political system and intelligence services\, and his first book\, Absolute Power\, became an instant international bestseller\, with the movie starring Clint Eastwood a major box office hit. He has since written more than forty bestsellers featuring most recently Amos Decker\, Aloysius Archer\, Atlee Pine and John Puller. David is also the co-founder\, along with his wife\, of the Wish You Well Foundation\, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting literacy efforts across the US. Still a resident of his native Virginia\, he invites you to visit him at DavidBaldacci.com and his foundation at WishYouWellFoundation.org.\n\n \n\nThe 1950s are on the horizon\, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California\, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you're hard-working\, lucky\, criminal--or all three.\n\nAlong the way\, Archer stops in Reno\, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible--plus a companion for the final leg of the journey\, an aspiring actress named Liberty Callahan who is planning to try her luck in Hollywood. But when the two arrive in Bay Town\, California\, Archer quickly discovers that the hordes of people who flocked there seeking fame and fortune landed in a false paradise that instead caters to their worst addictions and fears.\n\nArcher's first stop is a P.I. office where he is hoping to apprentice with a legendary private eye and former FBI agent named Willie Dash. He lands the job\, and immediately finds himself in the thick of a potential scandal: a blackmail case involving a wealthy well-connected politician running for mayor that soon spins into something even more sinister. As bodies begin falling\, Archer and Dash must infiltrate the world of brothels\, gambling dens\, drug operations\, and long-hidden secrets\, descending into the rotten bones of a corrupt town that is selling itself as the promised land--but might actually be the road to perdition\, and Archer's final resting place.\n\n \n\nAngie Kim is the debut author of the international bestseller and Edgar winner Miracle Creek\, named a "Best Book of the Year" by Time\, The Washington Post\, Kirkus\, and The Today Show\, among others. Her novel also won the ITW Thriller Award\, the Strand Critics Award\, and the Pinckley Prize. A Korean immigrant\, former editor of the Harvard Law Review\, and one of Variety Magazine's inaugural "10 Storytellers to Watch\," Kim has written for Vogue\, The New York Times Book Review\, The Washington Post\, Glamour\, and numerous literary journals. She lives in Northern Virginia with her husband and three sons.
