hank phillippi ryan on tour for The Other Woman.

Please join us as we welcome investigative reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan when she presents her most recent mystery novel, "The Other Woman." ""Jane Ryland was a rising star in television news…until she refused to reveal a source and lost everything. Now a disgraced newspaper reporter, Jane isn’t content to work on her assigned puff pieces, and finds herself tracking down a candidate’s secret mistress just days before a pivotal Senate election. Detective Jake Brogan is investigating a possible serial killer. Twice, bodies of unidentified women have been found by a bridge, and Jake is plagued by a media swarm beginning to buzz about a “bridge killer” hunting the young women of Boston. As the body count rises and election looms closer, it becomes clear to Jane and Jake that their cases are connected…and that they may be facing a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to silence a scandal. Dirty politics, dirty tricks, and a barrage of final twists, The Other Woman is the first in an explosive new series by Hank Phillippi Ryan. Seduction, betrayal, and murder—it’ll take a lot more than votes to win this election."" A former US Senate staffer and political campaign aide, Ms. Ryan is the investigative reporter for Boston's NBC affiliate, and has won 27 Emmys and ten Edward R. Murrow awards. A bestselling author of four mystery novels, Ryan has won the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards. She’s on the national board of directors of Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime.

CLEA SIMON reads from Shades of Grey.; HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN reads from Air Time.

Harvard Book Store is tickled to welcome mystery writers CLEA SIMON and HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN for a night of double the intrigue and charm. In Simon's latest, the first in the brand-new Dulcie Schwartz feline-filled mystery series—Dulcie's having an awful summer. Her beloved cat Mr. Grey's been put to sleep, and her new roommate, Tim, is a jerk. Walking home, she sees a cat the spitting image of Mr. Grey and hears a voice say, "I wouldnt go in just now." She enters to find Tim dead, stabbed with her own knife. Dulcie's in the frame for murder, and she hasn't seen the last of Mr. Grey, either. "Well-paced and tightly plotted, Shades of Grey debuts a promising series from the author of the Theda Krakow mysteries. With scholar Dulcie as the main character, and most of the action taking place on the Harvard campus and inside the Widener Library, it should appeal to a wide audience, including fans of both cat cozies and fiction that uses an academic frame story." —Booklist In Ryan's latest, reporter Charlotte McNally enters the glamorous and high-stakes world of high fashion...and soon discovers when the purses are fake—the danger is real. To break her latest big-money blockbuster, Charlotte must go undercover—but what if the bad guys recognize her? This savvy TV journalist must face more than her fear of flying when her inside scoop on designer duplicates suddenly turns deadly. "The most fun I've had reading in a long time. Hank Phillippi Ryan has given us one of the best heroines to emerge in a long while, and her stories zip along as fast as news bulletins. Air Time is a fun, fast read with a heroine who's sexy, stylish, and smart." —Nancy Pickard (The Virgin of Small Plains) (ablachly)… (more)
