Join bestselling author J.A. Jance as she discusses her new book, “Blessing of the Lost Girls,” at Apache Junction Public Library at 2:30 p.m. or 4 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 18.

Jance’s latest thriller combines characters from two of her bestselling series (Joanna Brady and Walker family mysteries) to track down a killer who preys on victims that are often neglected by local police—young indigenous women, according to a release.

Jance is the New York Times bestselling author of the Ali Reynolds series, the J.P. Beaumont series and the Joanna Brady series, as well as five interrelated Southwestern thrillers featuring the Walker family, a volume of poetry and more. More than 21 million copies of her books are in print.

Jance will speak at the library, 1177 N. Idaho Road, at two showings. Admission will be ticketed and limited to 150 people at each show. For the 2:30 p.m. showing, ask for your ticket at the Service Desk beginning at 12:30 p.m. For the 4 p.m. showing, ask for your ticket at the Service Desk beginning at 2 p.m.

Books will be available for purchase and signing through Half Price Books, which will have a table at the event.
