West coast author Lisa Lutz's new novel, The Curse of the Spellmans, follows her funny irreverent 2007 debut, The Spellman Files. Izzy, a zany licensed private Investigator, works for the family detective business in San Francisco. Come hear Ms. Lutz talk about the antics and capers of this hilarious dysfunctional family of sleuths! Her lively story of suspicion, eavesdropping, and surprise should appeal to both teens and adults.

The event will be May 7, 2008, at 7 p.m. in the Cedar Room of Central Park Library. See the event flyer, and sign up for this free author event at the Reference Desk, or call (408) 615-2900.
