Meet the Author: William Martin Wednesday, September 14th 7:00 PM Meeting Room 138, Tufts Library Join us as we welcome author, William Martin and his new novel, December '41. A German assassin, living undercover in Los Angeles, has been tasked with shooting FDR on the night that he lights the National Christmas Tree. As he heads east, he leaves clues - and bodies - in his wake. Who will stop him? The clock is ticking. The tracks are laid for a chase across America and a page-turning climax on the White House lawn. Critics have called it "a bullet train of thrills speeding toward an unforgettable conclusion," and a book packed with thrills, chills, and clever plot twists." A book sale and signing will follow supported by Haley Booksellers.
