Author Talk with Otho Eskin (Zoom)

Please join us for this virtual Author Talk with former Foreign Service officer Otho Eskin, about his latest thriller Black Sun Rising, featuring Washington, D.C. homicide detective Marko Zorn. When Zorn’s partner is murdered, his search for justice leads him deep into Black Sun, a violent neo-Nazi movement built from the ruins of World War II’s most sinister forces. Their goal: unleash a catastrophic attack that will plunge the nation into chaos. 

A pulse-pounding thriller in the tradition of Baldacci, Clancy, and Patterson, Black Sun Rising delivers relentless suspense, razor-sharp political intrigue, and a chillingly timely story of unchecked hatred—and the one man willing to risk everything to stop it. There will be time for Q & A after Otho Eskin's presentation.
