Before we get to the good stuff, some disappointing news: ALAN FURST has cancelled his formal event with us on June 2. We hope he'll have time to drop in and sign some books for us, and will let you know when those are available.


But we have a double dose of one of our favorite authors this week – you have two chances to catch Bill Fitzhugh on Saturday, depending on whether you want to hang out in Manhattan Beach with three (count 'em, 3!) authors when he joins two more of our favorites at a library event, or go one-on-one with Bill in Westwood when he presents his new book.

Special Offsite Event!

We'll be selling books at the Manhattan Beach library when Sisters in Crime/LA Speakers Bureau presents three Mystery Bookstore favorites – and three of L.A.'s funniest mystery writers! A.H. Ream will moderate (if she can keep a straight face!) a discussion between Sue Ann Jaffarian (Thugs and Kisses, Midnight Ink, $13.95), Bill Fitzhugh (Adventures of Slim & Howdy, Center Street, $22.99), and Laura Levine (Death by Pantyhose, Kensington, $6.99) The Manhattan Beach Library (http://www.colapublib.org/libs/manhattan/) is at 1320 Highland Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA. Call them at (310) 545-8595 for details and directions.

Center Street, $22.99

Live on the north side? Come see Mr. Fitzhugh at our place later in the afternoon. THE ADVENTURES OF SLIM & HOWDY is Ingrid's pick for May, and comes with its very own CD of original music. Slim and Howdy are traveling country musicians. They play a mean hand of poker, reluctantly share a truck, and fend off trouble on behalf of lovely ladies in roadhouses. When a friend disappears, they pull out all the stops to find her, no matter what low-lifes, filmmakers, or fighting words they might encounter along the way. Ingrid says the book "effortlessly combines a freewheeling gentlemen-of-the-road story with a tight plot and great jokes."
