On Tuesday, September 14th, 2021 from 6:30-8pm on Zoom or watch it from our Kingsley Room, the Southbury Library will be hosting the latest installment of the Lu Burke Author Lecture Series featuring Connecticut mystery author James R. Benn.

James R. Benn is the Dilys, Barry, and Sue Federer Historical Mystery-award nominated author of the popular Billy Boyle WWII mystery series and two stand-alone works. His novel The Blind Goddess was long-listed for the 2015 Dublin IMPAC Literary Award. .

The Billy Boyle series, published by Soho Press, has been hailed as “meaty, old-fashioned, and thoroughly enjoyable,” by the Seattle Times. Billy Boyle, an Irish-American cop from Boston, helps his “uncle” Ike Eisenhower in sensitive WWII military investigations in overseas Europe.
