LEWISTON – Mystery writer Gerry Boyle will be the featured speaker at the Jan. 19 session of the Great Falls Forum.
Boyle’s talk, “Drawn to a Life of Crime,” will be from noon to 1 p.m. in Callahan Hall in the Lewiston Public Library, 200 Lisbon St., and is free and open to the public. It will also be streamed live via Zoom and the Lewiston Public Library Facebook page.
For 30 years, Boyle has been inventing crimes and criminals, then solving these mysteries through the efforts of his fictional investigators, particularly reporter Jack McMorrow. What drives an otherwise law-abiding writer to seek out the company of murderers and other miscreants? And what drives otherwise law-abiding readers to do the same? In his Great Falls Forum talk, Boyle will explore our attraction to those who break the rules, and our need to see justice, fictional as it may be.
Boyle is an award-winning crime novelist and former newspaper reporter whose books are mostly set in Maine, including his latest, “Robbed Blind.”
The Zoom link will be posted to the library website and Facebook before the event. The onsite program is a bring-your-own, brown-bag lunch event. For more information, call the library at 207-513-3135 or email LPLReference@lewistonmaine.gov.
