Detective novel author William Crandell to chat Jan. 20
The Lewes Public Library and Browseabout Books will welcome author William F. Crandell for an online discussion of his award-winning novel “Let’s Say Jack Kennedy Killed the Girl” at 5 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 20, via Zoom.
The first in the Jack Griffin Detective Series, Crandell’s hard-boiled adventure finds young Sen. Kennedy’s personal and political future at risk when he’s set up to take the fall for a ghastly murder. Working against time, bureaucratic red tape, his own personal demons and individuals who want him out of the way, Griffin must identify the real killer – assuming he can survive long enough.
The book series is being published under the Milton-based Devil's Party Press crime imprint, Hawkshaw Press.
