Leighton Gage - Blood of the Wicked

Valentine's Day 2008 Leighton Gage dropped by Mystery Loves Company to chat about his debut novel, "The Blood of the Wicked", a mystery set in Brazil. Recognition includes a star in Library Journal and a very favorable mention in The New York Times. Leighton writes from the tour: "Thanks to you and Tom for giving me such a warm reception at Mystery Loves Company. I loved your shop, loved the neighborhood, and loved the material you gave me about Poe’s last days. I’m also going to take your advice and visit the Oxford area the next time I’m in Maryland."

Leighton Gage event 2/14/08

I wanted you to know that author Leighton Gage will do a drive by stock signing at our Baltimore store 1730 Fleet Street around noon on Valentine's Day February 14, 2008. Leighton will be signing BLOOD OF THE WICKED (Soho Press) a mystery revolving around the death of a Brazilian bishop. Federal policeman Mario Silva does the investigating. But the crux of the material is about the cultural divide, even war, between those with land and those without. We hope you can join us and meet Leighton. We'll try to have the appropriate Brazilian coffee brewed. Let us know if you would like to have signed copies.

Take care,
Kathy
