Karen Abbott, bestselling author of LIAR, TEMPTRESS, SOLDIER, SPY, returns to Carroll on her release tour for THE GHOSTS OF EDEN PARK. Combining deep historical research with novelistic flair, THE GHOSTS OF EDEN PARK is the unforgettable, stranger-than-fiction story of a rags-to-riches entrepreneur and a long-forgotten heroine, of the excesses and absurdities of the Jazz Age, and of the infinite human capacity to deceive. Each attendee will receive a copy of The Ghosts of Eden Park. A book signing will follow the author talk. Additional books will be available for purchase from A Likely Story Bookstore.
Abbott's last visit to Carroll sold out, so get your tickets early!
