The Johnson County Library will host a program with Kansas City author Joel Goldman on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009; 2 p.m. at the Leawood Pioneer Library, 4700 Town Center Drive, Leawood, Kan. Goldman, an attorney, is the author of several mysteries including the Jack Davis series.

He will discuss the writing process and his newest mystery The Dead Man which is set in Kansas City and Johnson County. From shopping at Hen House to dining in Brookside or hightailing it from the West Bottoms to Olathe, Goldman’s mystery set in our own backyard makes the action even more spine tingling. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Other books by Goldman include: Deadlocked, Shakedown, Cold Truth, Last Witness, Motion to Kill and the Prosecution Rests: New Stories about Courtrooms, Criminals, and the Law.
