Kathleen Ernst returns to the Middleton Public Library to discuss her latest Chloe Ellefson mystery, Mining for Justice, the eighth in the series, set at the historic Pendarvis site in Mineral Point, WI.

Kathleen's books will be available for purchase at the event, and the evening will conclude with a book-signing.

From the publisher's description of Mining for Justice:

"Chloe Ellefson is excited to be learning about Wisconsin’s early Cornish immigrants and mining history while on temporary assignment at Pendarvis, a historic site in charming Mineral Point.

But when her boyfriend, police officer Roelke McKenna, discovers long-buried human remains in the root cellar of an old Cornish cottage, Chloe reluctantly agrees to mine the historical record for answers.

She soon finds herself in the center of a heated and deadly controversy that threatens to close Pendarvis. While struggling to help the historic site, Chloe must unearth dark secrets, past and present . . . before a killer comes to bury her."
