Save Our System (S.O.S.) describes our nation’s key systemic problems, problem causes, evolution, and solutions, and actions we can take to return our nation to its underlying principles. It starts by exploring the key problems that plague our current political climate that may lead to more government systems’ failures, later rips the rug out from under the career politicians that perpetuate voter manipulation, and ends enlightening all citizens to act and vote intelligently.

Author Event: John Lescroart
The Hunter

Thursday, February 16th, 6:45 p.m.

New York Times bestselling author John Lescroart will be at Read Booksellers to discuss and sign his new book, The Hunter, a dark, intimate thriller about the price we put on family and the terrible costs of seeking the truth.

Raised by loving adoptive parents, San Francisco private investigator Wyatt Hunt never had an interest in finding his birth family—until he gets a chilling text message from an unknown number: “How did your mother die?”

The answer is murder, and urged on by curiosity and the mysterious texter, Hunt takes on a case he never knew existed, one that has lain unsolved for decades. His family’s dark past unfurls in dead ends. Child Protective Services, who suspected but could never prove that Hunt was being neglected, is uninformed; his birth father, twice tried but never convicted of the murder, is in hiding; Evie, his mother’s drug-addicted religious fanatic of a friend, is untraceable. And who is the texter, and how are they connected to Hunt?

Yet in the present, time is running out. The texter, who insists the killer is out there, refuses to be identified. The cat-and-mouse game leads Hunt across the country and eventually to places far more exotic—and far more dangerous. As the chase escalates, so does the threat, for the killer has a secret that can only be trusted to the grave. Thriller master John Lescroart weaves a shocking, suspenseful tale about the skeletons inside family closets… and the mortal danger outside the front door.

Refreshments provided. Hope to see you there!
