Author talk and signing with Judge Rosemarie Aquilina
The honorable Rosemarie Aquilina recently made international headlines while presiding over the Larry Nassar sexual assault court case, earning widespread praise for her handling of the sentencing phase of the case, and even being featured on a t-shirt worn by actress Natalie Portman on Saturday Night Live. But she is also an accomplished crime novelist, and we are delighted to be able to host her for a talk and signing of her book Triple Cross Killer, the first book in her State Detective Special Forces series!
Tickets are $20 and include a paperback copy of Triple Cross Killer. Seating at the event will be first-come first-served. We anticipate this event will be a standing-room crowd, so if you require a seat for medical reasons, please contact us in advance to make arrangements.

About Triple Cross Killer
Have you ever wondered what really happens to Santa Claus letters? In Detroit and Sarasota some children's letters are diverted and reviewed by Nick Archer, a religiously obsessed, narcissist. Nick responds, leaving a trail of devastation in the two cities.
In Detroit, co-ed partners and wise-cracking lovers, detectives Jaq McSween and David Maxwell, team up with Sarasota detectives Abel Mendoza and his partner, Rabbit, to find this daunting killer.
When Jaq's friend, the lovely nurse, Rita Rose, takes a chance on love again, she gets caught in Nick's web. Working with the ME, she joins in, adding her perspective when events take a sinister turn.
Can this diverse team of characters pool their insights, barbs, and taste for bad food to save Rita when she discovers the final clues or will she become the next victim?
