SOLD OUT: Politics and Prose Presents ANN CLEEVES and LOUISE PENNY

Ann Cleeves is one of Great Britain's most beloved crime writers. Her Vera Stanhope and Shetland series have both been adapted into hit BBC shows, and shes won three Crime Writers' Association awards, including the Diamond Dagger, which is the highest honor in British crime writing. In THE GLASS ROOM, her newest Vera Stanhope novel, Vera's young neighbor disappears. Vera tracks her to the Writers' House, a local retreat for aspiring authors, but the investigation grows quickly complex - so complex, in fact, that Vera begins to suspect that the killer is taking murders from fiction and making them real.

Louise Penny is the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the thirteen Chief Inspector Armand Gamache novels. Her work has won five Arthur Awards, the Crime Writers; Association New Blood Dagger, and more, and has been translated into twenty-three languages. The Inspector Gamache novels are set in Quebec, many in the small fictional town of Three Pines, where her latest, GLASS HOUSES, takes place. The novel opens with Gamache in a courtroom, describing the arrival in Three Pines of a dark, hooded figure, but it spins far beyond the courtroom, into the depths of Gamache's memory and conscience.
