The Politics of Crime
Politics and crime is an ancient tradition that never dies. Our panel has written
about bad behavior from small towns to the global stage to the long-ago and far-away. And it all looks familiar.

The Funny Side of Crime
Smart aleck detectives. Impulsive amateur sleuths. Incompetent crooks. Self-important – or self deluded –
politicians. Mix some of them – or all of them- together and you have the cast for a humorous mystery. While crime might not be funny, human nature is, and the gang that tunnels into the wrong building, the sleuth whose car is always wrecked and the PI who’s always missing a few clues never fail to amuse us. Join us to hear the experts tell us how and why they make us laugh.
This event is free and open to the public.

The Making of a Series Character in the Mystery Genre
At the New City, NY, Library
Whether it’s Miss Marple or Kinsey Milhone, Hercule Poirot or Harry Bosch, memorable heroes and heroines are central to what makes mystery fiction addictive. The most baffling crimes, the darkest secrets, and even the most scare-raising bad guys count for a lot less than the personalities of those characters you meet, enjoy, and then want to follow — through
book after book.
Join Moderator Michele Slung, Steve Hamilton, Joanne Dobson, and Julia Pomeroy as they discuss how to create a successful series character in the mystery genre.

Executive Protection:
So Much More than Motorcades
 
Management Resources Ltd of NY was founded by partners Robert H. Rahn, a retired NYPD lieutenant and homicide detective, and Kim Anklin, who, before returning to New York, worked in crime and intelligence analysis for Ventura PD in California. In addition to a range of investigative services, a specialty of their firm has become that staple of thrillers: executive protection.
We’ll learn about the work behind clearing routes and venues, motorcades and decoys, the use of technical wizardry and intelligence-gathering for evaluation of local threats. We'll find out how professional security adapts when a high-profile client decides suddenly to go for sushi in Greenwich Village instead of pasta in Mid-town. It may not be your normal family night out, but for dignitaries and divas alike, their job is to make it a safe one!

Partners in Crime
Are Two Killers Better Than One?
 Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead—but how about exceptions
to the rule? Sometimes killers, thieves, and grifters, both real-life and
fictional, buddy up to commit their crimes. What makes these
partnerships tick? A panel of mystery and true crime
writers discuss what some of these partners in crime did and how it all
worked out.
Featuring: Elizabeth Zelvin (Moderator), Cici McNair, P.I., Cheryl Paradis, Robert Quackenbush, and Kate White
This event is free and open to the public.
