Join us for an afternoon with author and former Aspen Daily News reporter Michael Bourne in conversation with local investigative journalist Curtis Wackerle. Bourne and Wackerle will discuss true crime, environmentalism, and journalist-sleuths in Bourne's ski country mystery/eco-thriller We Bring You an Hour of Darkness. Set in “Franklin,” Colorado, the novel's colorful characters are familiar: from well-meaning criminals to intrepid women journalists, small-town politicians, and greedy developers.
“Bourne’s crisp prose, sharply drawn characters, and keen and often humorous observations of mountain town life make this a compelling read. I loved this book, which made me homesick for newsrooms and for the West.” —Gwen Florio, author of Best Laid Plans and The Least Among Us
