Copperfish Books welcomes Deborah Goodrich Royce on Tuesday, January 24 at 6 pm for a book talk for her new thriller Reef Road. After her talk, Deborah will be happy to sign copies of her book.
"Reef Road is magnificent. It feels utterly real, a novel of deeply personal context. It swerves between truth and lies--the lies that lead to an even deeper--and more devastating--truth. Though pure fiction, it reads as compellingly as a mixture of memoir and exposé. It has left me shaken to the core."-- Luanne Rice, New York Times bestselling author
