Dearest Adventurers...there is a murder afoot, and only you can solve it. So make sure to join as we welcome home New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, a San Diego native whose thrilling novels have captivated readers around the world and inspired the hit television series Rizzoli & Isles, which continues to find new generations of fans through streaming.

In celebration of her latest novel, The Shadow Friends, Tess returns with another pulse-pounding mystery featuring the beloved Martini Club. The third installment in the series follows retired spies Ingrid Slocum, Maggie Bird, and their fellow operatives as they are drawn back into a dangerous world of Cold War secrets, international intrigue, and deadly revenge. When a renowned Russian defector dies under suspicious circumstances and a young woman is murdered, old ghosts emerge from the shadows—and the past proves far more dangerous than anyone imagined.

Your Adventure takes place at the Coronado Public Library and includes an engaging conversation with Tess about her remarkable journey from San Diego to international bestsellerdom, the inspiration behind The Shadow Friends and the Martini Club series, audience Q&A, book signing, and the opportunity to purchase copies of the novel for a personalized signature.
