Event Details

 

Join us as we welcome award-winning author Alma Katsu to Frederick for the release of her latest novel, Red London. Alma will discuss Red London, answer questions, and sign copies of the book.

This event is presented in partnership with Curious Iguana.

Books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Free and open to the public. Accessibility requests must be emailed to info@curiousiguana.com at least two weeks prior to the event.

About the book: Red London is a sharp and nuanced race-against-the-clock story ripped from today’s headlines, a testament to author Alma Katsu’s thirty-five-year career in national security. It’s a rare spy novel written by an insider that feels as prescient as it is page-turning and utterly unforgettable.

About the author: Alma Katsu is the award-winning author of eight novels, most recently Red London, Red WidowThe Deep, and The Hunger. Prior to the publication of her first novel, she had a thirty-five-year career as a senior intelligence analyst for several U.S. agencies, including the CIA and NSA, as well as RAND, the global policy think tank. Katsu is a graduate of the masters writing program at the Johns Hopkins University and received her bachelors degree from Brandeis University. She lives outside of Washington, DC, with her husband, where she is a consultant to government and private industry on future trends and analytic methods.
