The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Friends of the Libraries will present a talk by noted mystery writer Miriam Grace Monfredo on "Stalking the Mysteries of Hidden History" at the ninth annual Just Desserts program on Friday, March 2, at 7 p.m. in CU Boulder's Fleming Law Building.
A historian and former librarian, Monfredo is a well-traveled speaker on the history of America and the evolution of women and minority rights. A resident of Rochester, N.Y., she has lectured in 34 states in the past three years.
Monfredo's most recent book is "Sister of Cain," the first volume of a Civil War trilogy set in Virginia during the Union's failed 1862 campaign to capture Richmond. Her fifth book, "The Stalking Horse," was chosen by the Voice of Youth Advocacy as one of 1998's best adult mysteries for young adults.
Monfredo's fiction has received positive reviews from the New York Times, Chicago Tribune and Newsday, among other publications.
Just Desserts is free and open to the public. A dessert reception will precede the program.
Free parking will be available at the Fleming Law Building. To get to the law school, take Broadway to Regent Drive and turn south on Kittredge Loop Road to lot 402 located south of the law building.
