Description:

Now You Owe Me is a crisply written, fast-paced thriller with meaning layered so deftly into the entertainment, you get a double bonus of social commentary and spine-chilling twists. In the best tradition of smart writing marrying depth with depravity, Aliah Wright brings her characters to life so skillfully, you'll close the book eager to open her next.” —Jessica Jiji, author of Sweet Dates in Basra

No one knew witnessing their first murder at seven would propel Ben and his twin toward a killing spree in Pennsylvania. Racked with guilt, they vow to take just one more victim.Too bad they snatched the wrong woman . . .

Aliah Wright is joining us on the Busboys stage to celebrate her debut novel, and share more about the compelling characters and thrilling twists in the story. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Wright will be signing following the program.

This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 5:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of NOW YOU OWE ME will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is in person and will not be livestreamed.
