Book Talk & Signing
With Local Author SHane Lehan
At The Salmon Of Knowledge Bookstore in Hyde ParkJoin the Staatsburg and Hyde Park Libraries with Salmon of Knowledge in welcoming Shane Lehan, local author, for a discussion and signing of his book Hollywood Heaters. Based in the 1920's Hollywood Heaters may be a gangster and mafia story, but at it's core it is a story about a group pf kids trying to navigate life and find who they are. A tale of action and noir - where nobody knows who is telling the truth.
