Join author John Copenhaver for a discussion of Hall of Mirrors, one of The Washington Post's "12 Thrillers to Read this Summer" and an Oprah's Bookclub "Sizzling Summer Read". Set in 1954 Washington, DC, in the wake of the Lavender Scare, this complex and fast-paced historical mystery features a biracial ghostwriter seeking justice for his dead partner and a hunt for a serial killer. This is the second installment of the Judy Nightingale and Philippa Watson crime fiction trilogy. Copenhaver won the 2019 Macavity Award for "Best First Mystery" for Dodging and Burning and the 2021 Lambda Literary Award for "Best Mystery" for The Savage Kind. He is a co-founder of Queer Crime Writers and an at-large board member of Mystery Writers of America. He is a faculty mentor in the University of Nebraska's Low-Residency MFA program and teaches at Virginia Commonwealth University. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
