Helping us celebrate National Library Week, local author Jon McGoran joins us to talk about his literary crime thriller, Drift.
Billed as "An ecological thriller about genetically modified foods and pharmaceuticals," Drift is so much more!
From Amazon: "When Philadelphia narcotics detective Doyle Carrick loses his mother and step-father within weeks of each other, he gains a twenty-day suspension for unprofessional behavior and instructions to lay low at the unfamiliar house he's inherited in rural Pennsylvania.
Feeling restless and out of place, Doyle is surprised to find himself falling for his new neighbor, Nola Watkins, who's under pressure to sell her organic farm to a large and mysterious development company. He's more surprised to see high-powered drug dealers driving the small-town roads--dealers his bosses don't want to hear about.
But when the drug bust Doyle's been pushing for goes bad and the threats against Nola turn violent, Doyle begins to discover that what's growing in the farmland around Philadelphia is much deadlier than anything he could have imagined . . .
Quick, clever, and terrifying, Jon McGoran's Drift is a commercial thriller in the tradition of Nelson DeMille's Plum Island."
If that's not enough - did you see all the great reviews? It gets our staff stamp of approval, too. You should check it out - bet you won't be able to put it down!
