Local author Richard Goffman to discuss new mystery novel

WANTAGE — The Friends of the Sussex-Wantage Library will host local author Richard Goffman for a book reading, signing and discussion on Friday, May 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the library's community room.

Goffman’s new novel “Heartless Cruelty” is a twisted murder-mystery, a passionate romance, and a tale of corruption set in the not-so-idyllic Jersey Shore town of Atlantis. It is the first in a series of novels about high school teacher William Bachman, a complex, flawed, and courageous everyday hero who is a champion for his students.

Copies of “Heartless Cruelty” can be purchased at the talk for $16.99.

To sign up for the book talk, register online at www.sussexcountylibrary.org, or call the Sussex-Wantage Library at 973-875-3940. The library is located at 69 Route 639 in Wantage.
