This event has been canceled due to a family emergency. Martin Clark very graciously paid for 20 copies of The Plinko Bounce as a thank-you to fans, and the first 20 people to come by the shop and request it will receive a free copy on him. We have additional signed copies available as well.
Join us as we celebrate the release of Martin Clark’s new legal thriller, The Plinko Bounce. This in-person event will be free and open to the public. We recommend arriving early for the best seating.
About the Book: In the summer of 2020, small-town public defender Andy Hughes is assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, confesses to the police. He even admits his guilt to Andy. But a simple typographical error and a shocking discovery begin to complicate the state’s case, making it possible Bullins might escape punishment. Duty-bound to give his client a thorough defense, Andy—despite his misgivings—agrees to fight for a not-guilty verdict, a decision that will ultimately force him to make profound life-and-death choices, both inside and outside the courtroom.
