Award-winning investigative reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan will discuss her latest book, The Murder List, on Thursday, August 20, 7 pm at Brookline Booksmith.

About The Murder List

Law student Rachel North will tell you, without hesitation, what she knows to be true. She’s smart, she’s a hard worker, she does the right thing, she’s successfully married to a faithful and devoted husband, a lion of Boston’s defense bar, and her internship with the Boston DA’s office is her ticket to a successful future.

Problem is–she’s wrong.

And in this cat and mouse game, the battle for justice becomes a battle for survival.
