We are thrilled to welcome back beloved local author Ellen Crosby for the upcoming release of her mystery series featuring DC-based photojournalist Sophie Medina. This is the fourth book in the series, and we are excited to have Ellen back at the store to discuss all about Sophie Medina and her crime-filled world. This event is perfect for fans of high-flying female sleuths, deft red-herrings page-turning plot twists, and glamorous settings. When billionaire philanthropist and art collector Robson Blake hires Sophie Medina to take photographs for him, she doesn't expect to show up and find her client dead. It seems he was the victim of a burglary gone wrong. But why was his state-of-the-art security system turned off... and why, in a house full of priceless Old Masters, is the only thing missing a beautiful but insignificant Ukrainian religious icon? Before long, Sophie finds herself in the crosshairs of a D.C. homicide detective who suspects she knows more than she is saying about Blake's murder - and he's not wrong. To Sophie's mixed delight and horror, she's recently learned she has a half-brother... who might also be an international art thief, with eyes on Blake's collection. As the police get closer to finding Blake's killer, Sophie is certain someone is trying to frame her for his murder. Can she find the real killer in time - even if it means turning in her own brother to prove her innocence? This event is a must-attend for anyone who loves a thrilling mystery with a strong female protagonist, unexpected twists and turns, and a glamorous backdrop. Join us on Friday, June 21st at 6:30 PM to hear Ellen Crosby discuss the latest installment in the Sophie Medina series. RSVP links will be available soon, so be sure to secure your spot early. You won't want to miss this exciting event!
