Book Group: Lee Adams's "5th and Vanguard"

(Long Beach, CA) Long Beach author Lee Adams second novel, Nighthawks, will premier on Saturday, November 14 at Portfolio Coffeehouse located at 2300 4th Street, Long Beach. Adams will be reading, answering questions, and signing books beginning at 7:00 P.M. Public and Press are cordially invited.Nighthawks marks the second installment in The Julie Page Mystery Series following its' debut last year with the publication of 5th and Vanguard. Though the action takes place in the fictional seaside town of Berle, it will appeal to Long Beach denizens with locations that seem undeniably familiar. This is a story about madness and ghosts, and the foggy distinction between them.Nighthawks offers the same broken concrete and burnt-out neon as its predecessor but this time escorts the reader further underground, firmly establishing Adams as a serious voice in the world of neo-noir. No apologies for bad behavior, Nighthawks is a love letter addressed to our darker inclinations. We are reminded that just because you bury something doesnt mean it wont come back to haunt you.Nighthawks is available through amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, and at Long Beach independents Fingerprints, Portfolio Coffeehouse and Open Book Shop.
