Author SASSCER HILL on February 6!

Meeting cancelled due to bad weather

Sasscer Hill

We are delighted to have award-winning mystery writer Sasscer Hill as our guest speaker on Thursday, February 6th. Ms. Hill will talk to us about her latest book, Travels of Quinn, and provide some insight into the research that went into this first book in her new Quinn O'Neill Mystery Series

Sasscer Hill has been involved in horse racing as an amateur jockey and racehorse breeder for much of her life and sets many of her novels against a background of big money, gambling, and horse racing. Her novel, Flamingo Road, won the $10,000 Dr. Tony Ryan Best in Racing Literature award for 2018. Her other novels have garnered a Carrie McCray award and nominations for Agatha, Macavity, and Claymore awards.

Travels of Quinn

Abandoned by her mother, Quinn is raised into a life of crime by her father and the gypsy con artists known as Irish American Travelers.

 Though Quinn can con with the best of them, she is conflicted about her crimes. Travelers leave school by the fifth or sixth grade and many resent that Quinn has educated herself with books. Erroneously, they believe she’s a snob, like her beautiful, educated mother, who they despised.

Arrested and jailed for theft, Quinn pays restitution by working on a horse farm. Unfamiliar with horses, her love for them surprises her. They make her hope for a better world. But the farm’s owner is brutally murdered and Quinn becomes the prime suspect.

 On the run, Quinn uses every scam and con she knows to save herself. Can she find the real killer before she’s imprisoned for life or murdered because she knows too much?  A mystery-thriller of deceit, murder, greed and hope, by multiple award-winning author, Sasscer Hill.
