Discuss 11/22/63

by Stephen King Jake Epping is a high school English

teacher living in 2011 Maine, when a

friend enlists him to go back in time and

prevent the 11/22/63 assassination of

John F. Kennedy. And so begins Jake's

tale - one of time travel, romance, terror, and mys-

tery. Was Lee Harvey Oswald a lone gunman that

day? Will Jake abandon his mission for the heart of the

beautiful school librarian? But the biggest question of

all - what happens to the world if JFK survived Oswald's

assassination attempt on 11/22/63?

Linden Murders: Solved! ** Wednesday, September 25

7:00 - 8:00 p.m. by Rob Thompson

In this book, published in 2013, Thomp-

son reopens an 80 year old cold case in

Genesee County, New York. In 1917,

1922, 1924 and 1934 six people were

murdered. The horrific crimes

were never solved. Rob Thompson, re-

opened the case files and using modern

profiling techniques has come closer to solving the mur-

ders than anyone ever has. At the program, Thompson

will discuss the basic history of the Linden murders and

his belief that six murders between 1917 and 1934 are the

responsibility of one individual. By connecting the signa-

tures of these homicides he arrived at a common motive

with the end result pointing in one direction.

He was aided by a former FBI BAU Specialist.

He will share copies of actual statements and have some

images from the crime scene. Book signing to follow

program. Books are $20 each.

spite encroaching despair.
