Bestselling author Linda Castillo will speak about “Rage,” the latest book in her Kate Burkholder mystery series, Saturday, July 12 at 6 p.m. at the Dover Public Library. A book-signing will follow the event.

In this 17th installment of the series, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder investigates the brutal double murder of two young men from the Amish community of Painters Mill. Just when solving the case seems impossible, a mystery woman comes forward and reveals the victims may have been connected to individuals involved in sinister activities. As Kate draws closer to the truth, her own life is threatened.

“We are always delighted to host Linda at the library,” said Sherrel Rieger, adult programming specialist. “Her fans look forward to her visit with excited anticipation because they love meeting her and hearing about their favorite characters.”
