GLENDALE, Ariz.– Home is now San Francisco, but mystery writer Louise Ure is a fourth generation Arizonan. She will be making a stop at Velma Teague Branch Library to discuss her books at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 19. Her current book, “The Fault Tree,” is set in Arizona and is the story of Cadence Moran, a blind woman thrown into a desperate race against a killer.

Ure’s debut novel, “Forcing Amaryllis,” was the Shamus Award Winner for Best First Novel. It features Arizona jury consultant Calla Gentry, who becomes embroiled in a world of buried lies and violent rage when she tries to uncover the truth about her sister’s rape.

Ure is a graduate of the University of Arizona, l’Université de Dijon in France, and the American Graduate School of International Management (now Thunderbird School of Global Management) in Glendale. For 25 years, she pursued a career in advertising and marketing that took her to three continents.

In 2002, she decided to follow a lifelong dream and try writing fiction. She determined that she should write the type of book she enjoys reading – mysteries.

Ure’s books will be available for purchase and signing at the program. No reservations are necessary. For more information, call 623-930-3431.
