Local Author Event: Richard McGonegal – The Substance of Fear

A small-town shopkeeper is found bleeding and unconscious. A former police officer goes missing.

Francis Hood, a sheriff in Central Missouri, steps into a quagmire of small-town secrets when he begins to look into these seemingly unrelated cases. He seeks assistance from Sandra Brondel, a crime lab analyst, who suffers from a severe form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She is aided by the missing man's brother, Brian Rakestraw, who battles his own debilitating social anxiety.

Meet Richard, hear him discuss the inspiration behind his work, and get a signed copy of The Substance of Fear.

Free to attend — books will be available for purchase.
