We confidently predict that this will not be the last time you read about Chicago writer Lori Rader-Day and her debut novel, The Black Hour.
It's the story of a Chicago sociology professor for whom the subject
of violence was strictly a research topic--until she was shot by a
student she'd never met before. Excerpts from some of the book's advance
raves: "An irresistible combination of menace, betrayal, and self-discovery" (Publishers Weekly starred review); "an unputdownable read" (Booklist, also starred review); and "this
reviewer was bowled over by the novel's alternating points of view,
superb storytelling, and pitch-perfect take on academia (Library
Journal)."
The winner of Good Housekeeping's
first short story contest, Lori is the vice president of the Midwest
Chapter of the Mystery Writers of America and a member of Sisters in
Crime Chicagoland.
