Tess Gerritsen will present her new, stand-alone thriller, "Shape of Night."

Books will be available for purchase.

Tess will talk about what inspired the novel, plus the ideas that inspired her previous novels.  There will be time for questions and answers.

A woman trying to outrun her past is drawn to a coastal village in Maine--and to a string of unsolved murders--in this dark and sexy novel of psychological suspense.

Trained as a medical doctor, Tess built a second career as a thriller writer. Her 28 novels include the Rizzoli and Isles crime series, on which the TV show "Rizzoli & Isles" is based.  Among her titles are HARVEST, GRAVITY, THE SURGEON, PLAYING WITH FIRE, and THE SHAPE OF NIGHT. Her books are translated into 40 languages and more than 30 million copies have been sold.  She lives in Maine.
