MEET THE AUTHOR!
Please join us at McKinney City Hall to meet award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author C.J. Box. C.J. will discuss his writing and his latest book. The Crossroads is a gripping, family-centered mystery for both loyal fans and newcomers. Readers love Joe Pickett—a likeable, dogged hero who always tries to do the right thing—and this time, his three daughters share the spotlight. Set against the fierce beauty of the modern West, where energy empires, cartels, and powerful families vie for control of the land, Box delivers a timely, emotionally charged thriller about family, loyalty, and the cost of standing for what’s right in a world where corruption runs deep."
Your $50 VIP ticket can be purchased at https://givebutter.com/CJBOX and will include a signed copy of The Crossroads, photo opportunities, and some delicious appetizers and desserts. After the reception, please join us in the Council Chambers to hear C.J.’s talk.
