Join Barnes & Noble (3040 M St NW) on Saturday, January 17 from 4 – 5:30pm to hear DC-area novelists Christina Kovac and Angie Kim in conversation for the launch of Kovac’s new Georgetown thriller, Watch Us Fall. The novel “follows three best friends who share a glamorous but decaying house in the heart of Georgetown. They call themselves “the Sweeties” and live an idyllic post-grad lifestyle complete with exciting jobs, dramatic love lives, and, most importantly, each other. But when Addie, the group’s queen bee, discovers that her ex-boyfriend Josh has gone missing, the Sweeties’ worlds are turned upside down.”

Covac worked for 17 years managing DC newsrooms and producing crime and political stories in the District. Kim is the New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls. Her debut, Miracle Creek, was one of Time’s 100 best mysteries and thrillers of all time.
