SUMMARY:Book Signing: William Deverell's Long-Shot Trial
DESCRIPTION:Join Munro’s Books on June 15th to meet William Deverell\, the author of the Arthur Beauchamp thriller series! He’ll be signing the ninth book in the series: The Long-Shot Trial! \nIn the Long-Shot Trial\, Arthur Beauchamp takes a break from the courtroom to write a memoir so he can set the record straight about a headline murder case he fought as a young lawyer in 1966. The trial would either mark him as a pathetic loser or thrust him into the top ranks of criminal counsel. The background: in 1966\, a young housemaid was raped by her employer\, a callous and vindictive millionaire. She shot him point blank\, so it seemed an open-and-shut case of first-degree murder. Enter Arthur Beauchamp\, a young lawyer haunted by having bungled his only previous murder case. He is now called upon to defend a case that he is almost certain can’t be won. But as the trial speeds through twists and turns\, his slashing cross-examinations bring hope that the jury might entertain a reasonable doubt. In the present time\, Arthur learns that writing about his social gaffes\, booze\, and sex is not easy\, especially as his efforts are regularly interrupted by the quirky characters who inhabit his supposedly idyllic Garibaldi Island. \nAfter careers as a journalist\, criminal lawyer\, and political activist\, WILLIAM DEVERELL turned to fiction\, and his first effort won the Seal First Novel Award. Since then\, he has earned multiple prizes for his 20 published novels\, including the Dashiell Hammett Prize for literary excellence in crime writing in North America\, two Crime Writers of Canada Awards (formerly the Arthur Ellis Award)\, and two runners-up for the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour. He lives on Pender Island in British Columbia. \nWHEN: Saturday\, June 15th from 12:00 p.m. until 1:30 p.m.\nWHERE: In-Store at Munro’s Books\, 1108 Government St. in Victoria.\nWHAT: Meet\, greet\, and have William Deverell sign your copies of his book!\nHOW: This event is free to attend.
