Poets & Allies for Resistance at Sidewalk Café 
Join us to hear T. Jefferson Parker discuss and sign The Room of White Fire, a stirring new thriller from the bestselling and award-winning author, who is admired by fans of Michael Connelly and C.J. Box. In this new book a P.I. must hunt down a soldier who is damaged by war, dangerous, and on the run. Roland Ford—a former cop, then a marine, and now a private investigator—is good at finding people. But when asked to locate Air Force veteran Clay Hickman, he realizes he’s been drawn into something deep and dark. Why does a shroud of secrecy hang over Hickman’s disappearance, and why is Ford getting a different story from everyone involved? What begins as just a job becomes a life-or-death obsession for Ford, forcing him to contend with chilling questions about truth, justice, and the American way.
