Saturday, June 13 at 11 am
Please join us at Henry’s Books on Saturday, June 13 at 11 am for a special craft talk with author Dan Jorgensen. We’ll have a conversation with the author about the writing process, publishing, and themes from his recent titles including Devil’s Thumb. Advance tickets are required for this event. Each $40 ticket includes a signed copy of Devil’s Thumb.
About the books… Jorgenson’s popular Black Hills Mystery and Adventure series includes the titles And The Wind Whispered, Rainbow Rock, and Devil's Thumb.
And the Wind Whispered… the tale of three teenaged budding reporters who stumble onto a murder, which is only the beginning of the mystery. With visits from a virtual who's who of the Wild West, the boom town of Hot Springs, South Dakota will not soon forget 1894.
Rainbow Rock… Caught in a web of illicit drug dealing and murder, Frank Silver Shore embarks on a quest to find who killed his friend Gene Darveaux and track down a satchel of drug payment money hidden by Darveaux at a place called Rainbow Rock. In a deadly cat-and-mouse game with Gene’s killers, Frank joins forces with grizzled Lakota lawman Al Twocrow and intrepid Hot Springs Star reporter Maria Tager in a race to find the hidden cash and solve Gene’s murder.
Devil’s Thumb… Autumn, 1925 and residents of the Black Hills mining town of Keystone, South Dakota are excitedly awaiting the start of nearby Mount Rushmore, one of the most ambitious carving projects the world has ever known. But two vicious murders, the discovery of a Bootleg whisky operation linked to Chicago mobster Al Capone, and the kidnapping of Hot Springs Star reporter Minnie Thompson are threatening to derail famed sculptor Gutzon Borglum’s epic plans.
