John Searles, author of the acclaimed Boy Still Missing and Strange but True (which Salon.com called the best novel of 2004), returns to the top of critics’ lists with Help for the Haunted, a dark and unexpected mystery about one young girl’s family secrets. Just a week and a day after the book debuts, Searles will appear as the guest of honor at the Lakewood Public Library Foundation’s fall fundraiser on Wednesday September 25 at 7:00 p.m. to share his own dark secrets—the writing kind—and enjoy the moody atmosphere and delicious fare of Vosh, Lakewood’s newest jazz, blues and Motown club.

Admission can be purchased online at lakewoodpubliclibrary.org/foundation or in person (with cash or check) at both Main Library and the Madison Branch.
