5th Annual Author Talk with Don Winslow at Snediker Yacht Restoration
Saturday, September 19 from 5:00pm–7:00pm
Join us for the Mystic & Noank Library’s fifth annual Author Talk at Snediker Yacht Restoration, featuring bestselling author Don Winslow, in conversation with Rick Koster.
Named “America’s Greatest Living Crime Writer” by The Providence Journal, Winslow is the acclaimed author of numerous works of crime fiction, including the Cartel Trilogy - beginning with The Power of the Dog - and the City on Fire trilogy, set among Irish and Italian mob families in Rhode Island.
Winslow will discuss his celebrated writing career and his latest book, The Final Score, a collection of six novellas exploring crime, corruption, and vengeance.
The evening will also offer an opportunity to celebrate the Mystic & Noank Library’s 2026 Volunteers of the Year, Friends of the Library Co-Presidents Kathy Busse and Patricia Menno-Coveney, and to recognize their dedicated service to the Library and our community.
The event begins with a reception from 5:00 to 6:00 PM, featuring drinks, hors d’oeuvres, and an opportunity to purchase books from Bank Square Books. The author conversation will follow from 6:00 to 7:00 PM.
Tickets are $125 per person and include admission to the reception and author talk. Space is limited, and the event is expected to sell out.
