The 2022 Tucson Festival books is two weeks away and — once again — it will feature a remarkable array of bestselling books and authors from throughout the United States.
The marquee will feature such literary stars as Billy Collins, Annette Gordon-Reed, Philip Rucker, William Kent Krueger and Craig Johnson. The cast will include Bob Odenkirk, Noah Hawley, Adam Schiff and Alexander Vindman.
Hundreds of volunteers are now putting the finishing touches on plans for the upcoming festival, and here are some of the authors they hope to meet March 12-13:
“Lightning Strike” by William Kent Krueger. When a 12-year-old Cork O’Conner finds a body in the forest near his home, all evidence points to suicide. Cork’s not buying it and begins searching for clues on his own. A complication, of course, is that Cork’s father is the Sheriff.
“Under Lock & Skeleton Key” by Gigi Pandian. After an accident forces Tempest Raj to return home, she is drawn back into the family business: secret staircase construction. The company specializes in magical staircases, secret rooms and sliding bookcases. Tempest soon fears she is the one who might disappear.
