7-8:30pm - Left Bank Books welcomes Southern Illinois author Laura Benedcit, who will sign and discuss her new thriller, "The Stranger Inside"!

This event is free and open to the public, but proof of purchase of "The Stranger Inside" from Left Bank Books will be required to enter the signing line.

There's a stranger living in Kimber Hannon's St. Louis home. He tells the police that he has every right to be there, and he has the paperwork to prove it. Kimber definitely didn't invite this man to move in. He tells her that he knows something about her, and he wants everyone else to know it too. "I was there. I saw what you did." These words reveal a connection to Kimber's distant past, and dark secrets she'd long ago left buried. This trespasser isn't after anything as simple as her money or her charming Craftsman bungalow. He wants to move into her carefully orchestrated life--and destroy it. "The Stranger Inside" is a chilling, suspenseful psychological drama in the tradition of Shari Lapena and Liane Moriarty.
