Join author Gail Bowen for the Saskatoon launch of her latest mystery novel The Solitary Friend (ECW Press), with special guest host Anthony Bidulka.
This event will be held live in the Travel Alcove and also available as a simultaneous YouTube stream.
In The Solitary Friend, the 23rd and penultimate installment in the Joanne Killbourn Shreve series, scandalous photos with threatening demands begin to appear targeting Joanne’s friends. She must race to find the source of the mysterious messages before they make good on their menacing ultimatum.
