Joshua Moehling, a noted crime fiction novelist, will visit the Bookmiser store in East Cobb Wednesday, Feb. 19, as part of a national book tour.
His latest work is “A Long Time Gone,” the third in his Ben Packard series of novels.
Here’s what the book is about:
“Deputy Packard is off work—he’s on leave, pending an investigation into a shooting—which gives him the time to investigate some new information about the disappearance of his older brother, Nick, who left their lakeshore family home when they were just kids, never to be seen again. The new information attracts his mother, Pam, to northern Minnesota, as much to check in on Ben as to explore where Nick may be buried. Pam—one of Moehling’s greatest creations—is a New Age, crystal wearing, sex-positive, Wiccan practitioner who would like nothing more than to see Ben find a boyfriend and does everything in her powers to hook him up. While the search for Nick takes a bit of a back seat, Ben can’t help but pursue a far more expansive and contemporary investigation that exposes corruption among County officials. See why so many people were happy to see Ben out of the picture? Add to this another story, brief but hugely meaningful, that provides yet more information about Nick. It’s amazing how Moehling keeps all these narrative balls in the air, but even more amazing is how they eventually come together. For those who love classic mysteries, police procedurals, and family drama.”
Moehling’s appearance at Bookmiser (3822 Roswell Road, Suite 117) will be from 6-7:30 p.m. and will include a book discussion of the Ben Packard series, which includes “Where the Dead Sleep” and “And There He Kept Her.”
