Signing event with author Darcy Coates set Aug. 30

Author Darcy Coates will sign copies of her latest thriller, “How Bad Things Can Get,” from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 30, at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach.

A content creator millionaire and more than 100 of his fans land on the beach for five days of elaborate games, drinking and suntanned fun. Among the guests are a woman trying to hide from her bloody and notorious past, and a video journalist hunting for the next big scandal. The celebrations have barely started when the first guests go missing and games take a deadly turn. Attendees are forced to question whether something very dark is boiling just under the surface.
