The Next Feast...
Lori Roy
author of "The Final Episode" at Litchfield Country Club.
"When a true crime series chronicles the tragic childhood summer that changed her life forever, a young woman must grapple with the truth about her father...and herself. Jennifer Jones and her best friends spend every summer at Big Cypress Swamp, and this summer, Jennifer will finally turn eleven. She hopes to gain the "second sight" foretold by family legend and fulfill her destiny. Instead, the swamp serves up dangers greater than the gators lurking on Halfway Creek. Little Francie Farrow vanishes - and Jennifer's father goes to prison.Twenty years later, Jennifer has almost shed the label of Paul Jones's daughter when her past comes barreling back. Inspired by True Events, a TV series that solves the unsolvable, is recreating that fateful summer. As the series plays out, Jennifer wonders: Did the show finally find Francie Farrow? And is Jennifer's father truly guilty? Lori Roy's debut novel, "Bent Road," was awarded the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best First Novel by an American Author. Her work has been twice named a New York Times Notable Crime Book and has been included on various "best of" and summer reading lists. "Until She Comes Home" was a New York Times Editors; Choice and a finalist for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel. "Let Me Die in His Footsteps" was included among the top fiction books of 2015 by Books-A-Million and named one of the best fifteen mystery novels of 2015 by Oline Cogdill. The novel also received the 2016 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Novel, making Roy the first woman to receive an Edgar Award for both Best First Novel and Best Novel—and only the third person ever to have done so."
