At the heart of this suspense-filled narrative are Major Robert Anderson\, Sumter’s commander and a former slave owner sympathetic to the South but loyal to the Union; Edmund Ruffin\, a vain and bloodthirsty radical who stirs secessionist ardor at every opportunity; and Mary Boykin Chesnut\, wife of a prominent planter\, conflicted over both marriage and slavery and seeing parallels between both. In the middle of it all is the overwhelmed Lincoln\, battling with his duplicitous Secretary of State\, William Seward\, as he tries desperately to avert a war that he fears is inevitable—one that will eventually kill 750\,000 Americans. \nDrawing on diaries\, secret communiques\, slave ledgers\, and plantation records\, Larson gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late. \nAbout the author: Erik Larson is the author of six New York Times bestsellers\, including The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill\, Family\, and Defiance During the Blitz\, which examines how Winston Churchill and his “Secret Circle” went about surviving the German air campaign of 1940-41. Larson’s The Devil in the White City is set to be a Hulu limited series; his In the Garden of Beasts is under option by Tom Hanks for a feature film. He recently published an audio-original ghost story\, No One Goes Alone\, which has been optioned by Chernin Entertainment\, in association with Netflix. His Thunderstruck has been optioned by Sony Pictures Television for a limited TV series. Larson lives in Manhattan with his wife\, who is a writer and retired neonatologist; they have three grown daughters.

SUMMARY:Lisa Gardner: Kiss Her Goodbye
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner to Frederick on Sunday\, August 17\, from 3:00-4:30 pm at the Downtown Community Room at ERUCC.

But sometimes\, the sins of the past aren’t so easy to escape. \nRecent Afghan refugee Sabera Ahmadi was last seen exiting her place of work three weeks ago. The local police have yet to open a case\, while her older\, domineering husband seems unconcerned. Sabera’s closest friend\, however\, is convinced Sabera would never willingly leave her three‑year old daughter. At her insistence\, missing persons expert Frankie Elkin agrees to take up the search through the broiling streets of Tucson. Just in time for a video of the young mother to surface—showing her walking away from the scene of a brutal double murder. \nFrankie quickly realizes there’s much more to the Ahmadi family than meets the eye. The father Isaad is a brilliant mathematician\, Sabera a gifted linguist\, and their little girl Zahra has an uncanny ability to remember anything she sees. Which given everything that has happened during the girl’s short life\, may be a terrible curse. When Isaad also disappears under mysterious circumstances and an attempt is made on Zahra’s life\, Frankie realizes she must quickly crack the code of this family’s horrific past. \nSomeone is coming for the Ahmadis. And violence is clearly an option. When everything is on the line\, how far would you go to protect the ones you love? \nFrankie is about to find out. \nAbout Lisa Gardner: Lisa Gardner is a #1 New York Times bestselling thriller novelist with over 30 million copies of her books in print worldwide and published in over 30 languages.
