Novelist Tim Dorsey to Speak at Belmont Library Tonight

(Editor's note: The following information was provided by the Friends of the Belmont Library):

New York Times best-selling author Tim Dorsey will appear in conversation with mystery writer Bill Fitzhugh at the Tuesday at 7:00 pm.  

The authors will be available for a meet-and-greet at a reception beginning at 6:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be served. 

Dorsey will present his crime novel "Pineapple Grenade." In the latest laugh-riot thriller from the author of "Hurricane Punch," Serge Storms has finagled his way into becoming a secret agent in Miami, spying for the president of a banana republic. Will he still have time for a cocktail before Homeland Security brings him down?

Fitzhugh will present his latest novel, "The Exterminators," an hysterical satire on politics, religion, Hollywood, and insects.

Carl Hiaasen says, "The Exterminators is wild and clever fun, but it's also crawling with enough creepy insect facts to humble an Orkin-man. Even as you lie awake grinning at Fitzhugh's writing, you might find yourself hearing the soft scuttle of cockroaches under your bed." 

The authors will sell and sign copies of their books following their presentations.
