Best-selling author Chris Whitaker will visit Scarsdale on Wednesday night October 9 at 7 pm at an event sponsored by the Scarsdale Adult School when he will discuss his latest hit, “All the Colors of the Dark,” a soaring thriller and an epic love story that spans decades.
See Whitaker in conversation with Crown Publishing’s Senior Vice President and Fiction Publisher Amy Einhorn, during his limited US tour for a discussion of the book, that Jenna Bush Hager is turning into a mini-series.
(Book Description) This heart-wrenching genre-bending epic depicts the fine line that separates light and dark, triumph and tragedy, and devotion and obsession. Set in Missouri beginning in the 1970s and spanning over 25 years, the novel is part mystery, part serial killer thriller, and part love story. Girls in the small town of Monta Clare have been disappearing. When the daughter of a wealthy family becomes the target, an unlikely hero emerges in Patch Macauley, a local boy, born with only one eye, who saves her. Haunting and beautiful, the story explores how childhood wounds impact adulthood as it focuses on Patch, his best friend Saint, and Patch's multi-year effort to locate another one of the girls who had been abducted.
Gillian Flynn author of Gone Girl says, “From the author of We Begin at the End comes a soaring thriller and an epic love story that “hits like a sledgehammer . . . an absolutely must-read novel.”
Amy Einhorn is the Senior Vice President and Fiction Publisher at Crown Publishing. Previously, she was President at Henry Holt & Co., Publisher at Flatiron Books, and had her own eponymous imprint, Amy Einhorn Books, at Penguin Random House.
