Join us for a talk with one of our favorite speakers, David Kruh, on his new book “Little Mister Victory: A Daughter’s Search for the Woman Who Abandoned Her Father on VJ Day, co-written by Tina Drzal. Little Mister Victory is the story of Tina’s decades-long search for the woman who abandoned her father on VJ Day. Using cutting-edge DNA analysis and good-old-fashioned detective work (burrowing into newspaper archives, ecclesiastic and government documents) David and Tina found the mother, along with a surprise; abandoning her newborn baby was not the most shocking act of her life.

Author Kate White will discuss her new thriller, I Came Back For You, in conversation with Barbara Butcher, host of “The Death Investigator” on Peacock and the author of What The Dead Know. Ten years after her daughter Melanie was murdered while attending college in upstate New York, Bree Winter is finally moving on with a new love, a re-engagement with her work, and an idyllic home in Uruguay. Then a deathbed confession from the convicted killer throws Bree’s life into a tailspin all over again. White — the former longtime editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine — is the bestselling author of nineteen novels of suspense. Featured in the Netflix series “Homicide: New York,” Butcher is an expert in medicolegal death investigation, having spent 23 years at the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner as a Director and Chief of Staff. She investigated more than 5500 death scenes and 680 homicides; oversaw the remains recovery effort at the World Trade Center after 9/11; and helped manage the response to the crash of Flight 587 and the investigation into the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
