Michael Connelly, author of the immensely popular novels about LAPD Detective Harry Bosch, is one of four best-selling mystery writers who headline this winter’s Nick Linn Lecture Series.
A few seats are still available for these four exclusive events — which include lunch, a lecture and a book signing — at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in North Naples, beginning on Jan. 12 and wrapping up on March 23. (See the info box for ticket details.)
This year’s lineup, devoted exclusively to mystery authors, pays tribute to founder Nick Linn’s original vision when the Friends of the Library of Collier County series was created more than 20 years ago:
- Taylor Adams, author of such edgy thrillers as “Her Last Breath” and “No Exit,” on Monday, Jan. 12
- Brian Freeman, who has written dozens of psychological thrillers and also continues the iconic Jason Bourne series, including the latest, “The Bourne Escape,” on Monday, Feb. 23
- Michael Koryta, prize-winning author of “Those Who Wish Me Dead” and, under his pen name Scott Carson, “Departure 37” and “Lost Man’s Lane,” on Monday, March 9
- Michael Connelly, whose 42 novels have sold 89 million copies worldwide, on Monday, March 23. The prolific Connelly has just published “The Proving Ground,” featuring Mickey Haller, the Lincoln Lawyer, and also launched a new series set on Catalina Island with the back-to-back novels “Nightshade” and “Ironwood.”
