Join the South End Writes for a talk with Bruce Robert Coffin, award winning author and former detective sergeant who worked for four years with the FBI.  Coffin, considered one of the luminaries of the mystery-thriller genre, will discuss his new book, Within Plain Sight, the latest installment in his best - selling Detective Byron mystery series.

Within Plain Sight, 4th in his Detective Byron Mystery Series

Amid the dog days of summer, Detective Sergeant John Byron is called to the scene of a horrific crime: a young woman’s body, dismembered and left in an abandoned Portland lumber yard. The killing shares striking similarities with a spate of murders committed in Boston by a serial killer known only as the Horseman.

As Byron’s team investigates the case, they quickly push up against powerful forces in town. But Byron will stop at nothing to find the truth, not when there is a killer on the loose and everyone is a suspect. Has the Horseman expanded his killing field? Is this the work of an ingenious copycat—or is nothing what it seems? One thing is certain: Byron must uncover the truth before the killer strikes again.

Maine Sunday Telegram #1 Bestseller, Within Plain Sight, is the latest gripping installment of the award-winning, #1 bestselling Detective Byron mystery series, and depicts a grisly crime captivating Portland and sending John Byron and his team on a wild chase to catch the killer before it’s too late.

Bruce’s awards and nominations for Beyond the Truth include the Silver Falchion Award for Best Procedural, the Agatha Award Nominee for Best Contemporary Novel, the Maine Literary Award Nominee for Best Crime Fiction, and the #1 Bestseller of the Maine Sunday Telegram.
