October 2014 Book Selection

The North Providence Mystery Book Club will be meeting on Tuesday October 7, 2014 at 7:00 pm in the library's first floor conference room. We will be reading The Bughouse Affair, which is a collaboration between two well known authors, Marcia Muller and Bill Pronzini. This is the first book in the Carpenter and Quincannon mysteries.
The summary from the large print edition is: "In 1890s San Fransico, former Pinkerton operative Sabrina Carpenter and her detective partner, ex-Secret Service agent John Quincannon, undertake what appear to be two unrelated investigations. While Sabrina hunts for a ruthless lady pickpocket, Quincannon is after a slippery housebreaker who targets wealthy homes. The cases connect in a surprising fashion, not before two murders and other assorted felonies complicate matters. And not before the two sleuths are hindered, assisted, and exasperated by the bughouse Sherlock Holmes."
