Author Talk: Henry Wise with Ellen Crosby

MRSPL and Bards Alley Bookshop are excited to co-host author Henry Wise who will be discussing his debut crime novel, Holy City, along with Ellen Crosby, author of the Virginia wine mystery series and the Sophie Medina series.

“Holy City is an amazing piece of work. A Southern novel that examines the pathos and ethos of small-town life and the weight of both grief and hatred. Love it.”—S.A. Cosby 

No one innocent. No one free. Nothing sacred.

Holy City is the captivating debut from Henry Wise about a deputy sheriff who must work alongside an unpredictable private detective after he finds himself on the outs from his sheriff’s department over his unwillingness to look the other way when an innocent man is arrested for murder.

Henry Wise is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and the University of Mississippi MFA program. A writer across multiple genres, his poetry has been published in Shenandoah, Radar Poetry, Clackamas, Nixes Mate Review, and elsewhere. His nonfiction and photography have appeared in Southern Cultures. Holy City is his first novel.

Copies of Holy City may be ordered through Bards Alley's website at www.bardsalley.com and will also be available for purchase on site at the event.
