Steven Sidor visits to talk about and sign copies of his books. His new novel is The Mirror's Edge, due in April. Booklist writes: "Sidor could be the next Harlan Coben. He writes with the same spare creepiness, investing domestic life with uspeakable terror. His descriptions of crimes may be painful to read, but they reverberate with a real sense of tragedy."

Read-a-Thon benefits Indy Reads! We are hosting a 30-hour round-the-clock benefit for Indy Reads’ adult literacy programs. Volunteers sign up to read for 30 minute stretches throughout the day and night, and collect pledges from donors to support this local agency that’s helped open the door to reading for 100,000 people here in the Indianapolis area since 1984. Volunteers read books or stories of their choice for 30 minutes at a time. The goal of the Read-a-Thon is to have people reading — mysteries or whatever you enjoy — continuously for 30 hours. Readers are encouraged to read out loud, but there may be some reading silently too. Visit www.indyreads.org for more information about its programs, and contact either Indy Reads (at 275-4040) or The Mystery Company to volunteer.
