Join us in-person in the library or online for a conversation with Laura Lippman, New York Times bestseller author of Prom Mom, the story of Amber Glass, who is desperately trying to get away from her tabloid past but compulsively drawn back to the city of her youth and the prom date who destroyed everything she was reaching for. Inspired by a true story, and set against the surreal backdrop of 2020 and early 2021, this guessing game of a novel explodes with feeling and menace.

Laura Lippman has been hailed as a distinctive voice in crime fiction. Recently named one of the "essential" crime writers of the last 100 years, she has produced 24 novels, a book of short stories, a collection of essays, and a children's picture book, and been published in more than 25 languages. A New York Times bestseller, she also has won more than 20 prizes for her work and been shortlisted for 30 more. Her 2019 novel, Lady in the Lake, will be produced as a television series starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram. Lippman lives in Baltimore and New Orleans.
