Tomorrow night marks one our yearly highlight events at Kenton County Library - an evening with our One Book, One Community author Rick Robinson! I've now been to a number of the meet the author nights and it's always interesting, insightful and fun. So many people have read this year's book, Writ of Mandamus, that I think there will be a lot of great questions for Rick.

In the book, "Congressman Richard Thompson is about to run for reelection and his only opponent is Sean Sullivan, an eccentric lawyer known for wearing fuzzy slippers in the court room and railing about the temperature of the Guinness served at Chez Nora (one of the many places you’ll recognize). But as Thompson and his wife prepare for a long-awaited vacation in Ireland, Sullivan files a writ of mandamus against him, and Thompson realizes that Sullivan is a more formidable candidate than previously thought. Then someone is murdered and the Thompsons are plunged into an investigation involving Keeneland, an Irish horse farm, an attack on CIA operatives and the smuggling of military aircraft parts to the Middle East." This is only one of several fast-paced thrillers that Robinson has penned, so check at the library for his other titles.

The talk is at the Erlanger branch on Thursday 10/25 and will start at 7pm. Robinson will also be signing books - if you don't have your own copy yet, you can buy one at the event for $5.
