What happens when you put a hypochondriac, chain-smoking crime reporter in the same room as a lawyer-turned-teacher sleuth and a criminal profiling prof? The answer is a mystery-

The only way to solve it is to catch "And Then There Were Three" at the McGill Branch of the Burnaby Public Library on Thursday, Sept. 27, from 7 to 8: 30 p.m. Three local mystery authors team up for an evening of readings and discussion during this free public event. Mystery buffs will have a great opportunity to meet three Lower Mainland crime writers and hear them talk about their work.

New Westminster author Don Hauka is a versatile writer who has worked in every medium, from print to broadcast, new media to stage and screen. As a journalist, he covered Parliament Hill and the B.C. legislature for The Province newspaper. His new book, She Demons: A Mister Jinnah Mystery, is the second Mister Jinnah novel featuring the larger-than-life crime reporter published by Dundurn Press of Toronto.

David Russell is a longtime member of the arts community in Vancouver. He has worked on stage and television as well as a freelance writer and lives in Coquitlam. Last Dance is the sequel to Deadly Lessons, and features Winston Patrick, a lawyer-turned teacher whose best efforts to leave behind the legal profession are again thwarted when his students present him with their own legal problem.

Cathy Ace currently lives in Maple Ridge. Her first novel, The Corpse with the Silver Tongue, is set in the south of France where a man, seemingly admired (and certainly feared), drops dead at a dinner party.
