Mystery Readers Book Club

September 19 - Do No Harm / Dawn Eastman Emma loves her life. She’s the mother of a precocious kindergartener, married to her soulmate—a loyal and loving police detective—and has a rewarding career as a doctor at the local hospital.  But everything comes crashing down when her son, Josh, is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.  Determined to save him, Emma makes the risky decision to sell opioids to fund the life-saving treatment he needs. But when somebody ends up dead, a lethal game of cat and mouse ensues, her own husband leading the chase. With her son’s life hanging in the balance, Emma is dragged into the dark world of drugs, lies, and murder. (2018)

October 17 - Department of Rare Books and Special Collections / Eva Jurczyk  Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, managing details and working behind the scenes to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a stroke and she's left to run things, she discovers that the library's most prized manuscript is missing.  Liesl tries to sound the alarm and inform the police about the missing priceless book, but is told repeatedly to keep quiet, to keep the doors open and the donors happy. But then a librarian unexpectedly stops showing up to work. Liesl must investigate both disappearances, unspooling her colleagues' pasts like the threads of a rare book binding as it becomes clear that someone in the department must be responsible for the theft. What Liesl discovers about the dusty manuscripts she has worked among for so long - and about the people who care for and revere them - shakes the very foundation on which she has built her life.  (2022)

November 21 - When the Stars Go Dark / Paula McClain (2021) Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective in San Francisco. When tragedy strikes her personal life, she flees to the Northern California village of Mendocino to grieve. She lived there as a child with her beloved foster parents, and now she believes it might be the only place left for her. Yet the day she arrives, she learns that a local teenage girl has gone missing.  The crime reminds Anna when the unsolved murder of a young girl touched Mendocino and changed the community forever. As past and present collide, Anna realizes that she has been led to this moment. The most difficult lessons of her life have given her insight into how victims come into contact with violent predators. As Anna becomes obsessed with saving the missing girl, she must accept that true courage means getting out of her own way and learning to let others in

December 19 - Ambulance Chaser / Brian Cuban Pittsburgh personal injury lawyer and part-time drug dealer Jason Feldman’s life goals are simple: date hot women, earn enough cash to score cocaine on a regular basis, and care for his dementia-ravaged father. That all changes when a long-lost childhood friend contacts him about the discovery of buried remains belonging to a high school classmate who went missing thirty years prior, and the fragile life Jason’s built over his troubled past is about to come crashing down. Soon, he’s on the run across Pittsburgh and beyond to find his old friend, while trying to figure out whom to trust among Ukrainian mobsters, vegan drug dealers, washed-up sports stars, an Israeli James Bond, and an ex-wife who happens to be the district attorney. The only way he’ll survive is if he overcomes his addictions so he can face his childhood demons.

This is the first film adaptation from Shirley Jackson's novel The Haunting of Hill House.

The 1963 British horror film stars Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn.

Dr. Markway wants to study the paranormal hauntings at Hill House. The owner insists that her heir, Luke (played by Tamblyn), be present for Markway’s experiment. All of the people Markway invites to Hill House refuse, with the exception of two…Theodora, a bohemian, and Eleanor, a shy young woman who resents her life caring for her demanding mother.

This is an IN-PERSON program. Registration required!

City of Asylum Writer in Residence Reading
Please join us for a reading with Rania Mamoun—Sudanese journalist, activist, and City of Asylum writer-in-residence— featuring her new collection of poetry, Something Evergreen Called Life (Actions Books). 
 
After years of writing and organizing against the regime of Omar al-Bashir, Rania Mamoun was finally forced to leave her country with her young daughters, taking refuge in Pittsburgh in the early throes of the pandemic. Confined to her new home, Rania embarked on a daily practice of writing, out of which emerged these poems of loss, despair, and hope. This work tells a story of grief and fear, both of feeling these intense emotions and of moving through them. It is a story of reaching for the warmth of light and the life that grows within it. Something Evergreen Called Life offers readers nightpiercing songs of exile and intimacy, brought into English by Yasmine Seale through lyrical and crystalline translation. 
 
Rania Mamoun is a writer and Sudanese resistance committee activist. A 2010 International Prize for Arabic Fiction Nadwa participant, Rania has published two novels in Arabic, Flash Akhdar (Green Flash) and Ibn-al-Shams (Son of the Sun). She is the author of the short story collection 13 Sharen Min Isharaq al Shams (Thirteen Months of Sunrise), which was translated to English by Elisabeth Jaquette and shortlisted for the 2020 Warwick Prize for Women in Translation. Her writing has appeared in English translation in Mizna, for which she received a Pushcart Prize nomination, Shenandoah Literary JournalBanipal MagazineWords Without Borders, and The Fourth River. Her stories have appeared in translation in the collections The Book of Khartoum, Banthology, and Nouvelles du Soudan. Rania edited Al Thaqafi culture magazine, contributed frequently to Al Doha Magazine, and was a presenter for the cultural program Silicon Valley on Sudanese television. In 2020, Rania completed her first poetry manuscript in Arabic and since then has published articles, poems, and short stories in MedameekAl Baeed MagazineKikah MagazineAl Araby UK, and Al Democrati, a Sudanese newspaper.
