St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Favorite Author Series and The Novel Neighbor are  pleased to host bestselling suspense author Alison Gaylin for a signing and discussion of “Robert B. Parker’s Buzz Kill.”

The event will take place on Wednesday, September 11, 7:00 p.m. at the Clark Family Branch, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis MO 63131.

USA Today bestselling crime fiction author Alison Gaylin continues the Sunny Randall detective series started by suspense master Robert B. Parker. 

In “Buzz Kill,” Randall investigates the disappearance of a hard-partying energy drink mogul. 

After a near-death experience, Sunny Randall is ready to lighten her load as a PI, that is until she is called upon by billionaire media magnate Bill Welch to investigate the disappearance of his son, Dylan, the cofounder of the Gonzo Energy Drink company. Lazy, unscrupulous and a notorious partier, Dylan isn’t exactly reliable. But Dylan’s mother believes he’s in serious danger.

Unable to turn down the Welches’ life-changing offer, Sunny takes on the case. As she traces the marks left behind by Dylan’s past, she discovers not only his bad behavior with women, but also his reckless moves within the business world, producing an energy drink that, despite its marketing, has proven dangerous and even deadly. When bodies start to pile up, Sunny must find answers quick, before she—and those she cares about—get caught in the crossfire.

USA Today and international bestselling author Alison Gaylin has won the Edgar and Shamus awards. Her work has been nominated for numerous awards, including the Macavity, Anthony, ITW Thriller and Strand Book Award.
