Author Talk & Book Signing: Brad Parks "The Player"

One of our favorite authors, Brad Parks visits us to talk about "The Player," the fifth installment of his Carter Ross mystery series.

When he hears residents of a Newark neighborhood are getting
sick--and even dying--from a strange disease, investigative reporter
Carter Ross dives into the story--so deep he comes down with the illness
himself. With even more motivation to track down the source of the
disease, Carter soon hits upon a nearby construction site. But when the
project's developer is found dead, and his mob ties surface, Carter
knows he's looking at a story much bigger--and with even more dangerous
consequences--than an environmental hazard. Back in the newsroom,
Carter has his hands full with his current girlfriend and with the
paper's newest eager intern, not to mention his boss and former
girlfriend Tina Thompson, who has some news for Carter that's about to
make tangling with the mob seem simple by comparison.
