Hardcover Mysteries"; three mystery authors - David Baldacci, Sandra Brown and Kathy Reichs -

In honor of this year's National Book Festival, we're hosting an author event at the Library of Congress - "Hardcover Mysteries"; three mystery authors - David Baldacci, Sandra Brown and Kathy Reichs - will discuss what real life cases/investigations inspired their fictional works.

The public event is hosted by Investigation Discovery (ID), the criminal justice/investigative arm of the Discovery family, and the Library of Congress, and will take place next Monday, 9/20 at 7 pm. Tix for the event are available via Ticketmaster for a small fee ($2.75 per ticket plus service charges).
** We'll also offer a live webcast of the event at www.investigationdiscovery.com/event
** And we'll be livetweeting from the event @DiscoveryID

Later this fall, ID will launch a TV series under the same name - Hardcover Mysteries - which will profile eight novelists (including the three above) who will all explore the crossover from fact to fiction.
- The other authors in the TV series include: Harlan Coben, Linda Fairstein, Sara Paretsky, Lisa Scottoline and Joseph Wambaugh

Each episode of Hardcover Mysteries pairs an author with a real-life case close to their heart, whether it inspired one of their own creations, mirrors the themes presented in their bestsellers or resonates with their personal life story.

As an example of show content: In Baldacci's episode, he examines the 1964 murder of Mary Meyer, a Washington D.C. socialite and confidante to President John F. Kennedy, which partially the basis for his first best-seller, "Absolute Power."
