What's happening: James Grippando

Monday night offers conference attendees a chance to explore Des Moines on your own. Which means you can go catch one of the AVID authors visits at the Des Moines Public Library.  James Grippando, whom the Wall Street Journal calls "a writer to watch," will visit the Central Library at 1000 Grand Ave on Monday, May 17 at 7:00pm.  Books will be available for signing -- and there's no charge to attend, though it might be wise to get there early.

Investment banking is the timely subject of mystery writer James Grippando’s latest thriller, Money to Burn, which explores a world where the destruction of financial institutions and the people who run them can occur in a matter of hours—perhaps even minutes. Other titles from Grippando include Last Call, Born to Run, and Intent to Kill.
