Join us in the library or online for a conversation with Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Kiss Her Goodbye, the latest installment in the addictive Frankie Elkin series. Frankie is called to Tucson, Arizona, to find a missing Afghan refugee, whose friend suspects she is in grave danger—before it is too late. But when everything is on the line, how far would you go to protect the ones you love? Frankie is about to find out. Joining Gardner in conversation is Alex Finley, best-selling author of If Something Happens to Me.

Lisa Gardner, a bestselling thriller novelist, began her career in food service, but after catching her hair on fire numerous times, she took the hint and focused on writing instead. A self-described research junkie, she has transformed her interest in police procedure and criminal minds into a streak of internationally acclaimed novels, published across 30 countries. Her novel, The Neighbor, won Best Hardcover Novel from the International Thriller Writers. She has also been honored for her work with animal rescue and at-risk children. An avid hiker, gardener, and cribbage player, Lisa lives with her family in New England.

Alex Finlay is the bestselling author of the 2021 breakout novel, Every Last Fear, the 2022 Goodreads Choice nominee for Best Mystery and Thriller, The Night Shift, the 2023 Library Reads Hall of Fame recipient, What Have We Done, and the 2024 blockbuster national bestseller, If Something Happens to Me. Alex’s novels are regularly on "best of the year" lists and have been translated into twenty-five languages and sold around the world. All of Alex’s books have been optioned, secured, or in development for film and television, and his May 2025 release, Parents Weekend, was an instant national bestseller and has already been scooped up by Hollywood for adaption to the screen. Alex lives in Washington, DC and Virginia.
