Join authors Brendan Slocumb and Darrow Farr in discussing their explosive novels, brimming with danger and resistance in places you least expect it. In The Dark Maestro, Slocumb crafts an exhilarating story of a Black musical prodigy forced to abandon his career as his family is threatened by a cartel — and their valiant attempt to fight back. In The Bombshell, Farr brings 1990s France to life with a politician’s daughter taken for ransom, her camaraderie with her captors, and her gradual ascent to leading a radical political movement.
