In the world of crime fiction, danger lurks everywhere: at home, at work, at leisure, in settings familiar, exotic, and unimaginable. Four mystery authors reveal how they deal with danger in vastly different locations and situations. James Hayman sets his Mike McCabe/Maggie Savage thrillers in Portland, Maine. Paul Kemprecos’s detective/adventure novels take place by the sea, on the seas, and under the sea. Clea Simon’s most recent noir took readers deep into Boston’s punk rock history. And Susan Oleksiw’s three mystery series all have distinctive settings: from a New England farm to a tourist hotel in southern India. Moderator Mo Walsh, president of the New England chapter of Mystery Writers of America, will be our fearless guide through these perilous locales. Sponsored by Mystery Writers of America-New England.
