Tom Seigel used to chase mobsters. Now he writes fiction. Join us in-person, as we welcome back this award-winning author to talk about his newly released novel “Caught On Film.” In “Caught On Film” author and former mafia prosecutor Seigel pits a movie star and a mob boss against Salinger’s ghost in a contest of wills at once riveting, reflective, and riotous, a rollicking quest with rich characters tackling tough questions while keeping to a double-time beat.
“[T]he tale is a fun assemblage of elements, and the pages fly by. A cranky, entertaining, stylized sendup of art-making in a world of rules and regulations.” ~ Kirkus Reviews
Books will be available for purchase at the event.
Masks are recommended for in-person events at the Library.
