“What makes his book so fascinating is the attention to the medical procedures and innovations of the time ... Readers who enjoy Anne Perry’s and Caleb Carr’s psychological thrillers will welcome Goldstone’s brooding, paranoiac addition to the genre.”—Booklist
Local author Lawrence Goldstone will be our speaker on Monday, February 11th, to discuss his recently released forensic thriller, The Anatomy of Deception.
A young doctor is plunged into a maze of murder, secrets and unimaginable crimes and tracks a daring killer through the operating rooms, drawing rooms, and back alleys of 1889 Philadelphia.
Special guest appearance by controversial painter Thomas Eakins … I love it when historic personages turn up in novels.
Wondering if this book is for you? Read a sample on Amazon.com.
I will be here to do the author introduction at 7:30 (McManus Room on the lower level) and hope to see you there.
Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.

I'm just reading a new book by Melvin Harter called "Some Kind of Angel". It also deals in part with forensics and also home-grown terrorism and the weapons they use. It’s a slick thriller from a guy who used to work in forensics and so far it’s got me well and truly engrossed.
