SUMMARY:Con Lehane\, The Red Scare Murders
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Con Lehane\, The Red Scare Murders in Conversation with Eryk Pruitt on Sat\, Jan 17\, 2pm-3pm. This wry\, big-hearted noir brings 1950s New York to life\, from the tenements of Hell’s Kitchen to the mansions of Riverdale\, from Sing Sing to City Hall\, with a gripping murder mystery laying bare the explosive conflicts between its big wheels\, its working stiffs\, its gangsters\, and its dreamers. \nBOOK SUMMARY \nJuly 1950: Mick Mulligan has just hung out his shingle as a private investigator in New York’s sweaty Hell’s Kitchen. A former Hollywood cartoonist who was blacklisted during a communist witch hunt\, Mick is broke\, divorced\, and in need of a paying gig to make his child support payments. But maybe not this gig. First off\, it’s impossible. Worse\, it’s liable to get him killed. \nLast year\, universally reviled cab company owner Irwin Johnson was murdered. One of his drivers\, an African American Communist Party member named Harold Williams\, was arrested\, tried\, and found guilty\, despite scant evidence. Now his execution date is two weeks away. New York City labor leader Duke Rogowski asks Mick to find fresh evidence that might buy Harold a stay of execution. \nLots of people might have wanted Irwin Johnson dead—anyone from his betrayed wife to his jilted mistresses’ jealous husbands to the mafiosi he was stealing business from. But no one has any reason to help Mick exonerate Harold Williams\, and some of Irwin’s former associates are happy to take a blunt object to the head of anyone asking awkward questions. Yet Mick can’t abandon a potentially innocent man to the electric chair. Can he pull off a miracle? \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nCon Lehane is a mystery writer\, living in Washington\, DC. He is the author of The Red Scare Murders (Soho Press\, 2025)\, as well as the 42nd Street Library mysteries\, featuring Raymond Ambler\, curator of the library’s (fictional) crime fiction collection. He’s also the author of three mysteries featuring New York City bartender Brian McNulty\, and has published short stories in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. Over the years\, he has been a college professor\, union organizer\, and labor journalist\, and has tended bar at about two dozen bars. He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in fiction writing from Columbia University School of the Arts and teaches writing at The Writer’s Center in Bethesda\, Maryland. \nEryk Pruitt is a screenwriter\, author\, and filmmaker living in Durham\, NC\, with his wife Lana and his cat Busey.

SUMMARY:Welcome to Death Faire: Love\, Loss\, and Healing in a Small Southern Town
DESCRIPTION:Join McIntyre’s Books for Welcome to Death Faire: Love\, Loss\, and Healing in a Small Southern Town on Sat\, Jan 17\, 11am-12pm. Come celebrate life\, death\, and everything in between. With reverence and rebellion\, this soulful gathering of hearts will feature readings from a dozen of the 35 contributors\, who will share glimpses from the page\, weaving personal stories that speak to love\, grief\, and the spaces in between. Expect a swirl of live music\, a sermon-like reflection on grief\, grace\, and the human heart. It’s the kind of conversation that lingers long after the lights go out. Whether you carry grief\, care for the dying\, walk beside someone in sorrow\, or simply long to explore life’s impermanence with an open heart\, this evening and this book welcome you. Come curious. Leave changed. \nIn our small Southern town of Pittsboro\, North Carolina\, something extraordinary happens each year. Born from heartbreak and transformed by community\, Death Faire at The Plant has become a beloved annual event where community gathers to face what our culture so often avoids: death. Through a soul-stirring day of music\, art\, poetry\, ritual\, culture\, and shared wisdom\, Death Faire invites you to celebrate and honor the full cycle of life and death. It’s messy. It’s beautiful. It’s unapologetic. \nNow\, a decade later\, that spirit has been poured into a book: Welcome to Death Faire—a mosaic of personal stories\, images\, essays\, and poetry\, that creates space where death is no longer hidden in the shadows. Published by Tami Schwerin\, this beautiful book—like Death Faire itself—encourages you to challenge the stories we tell ourselves about death and to embrace it as an integral part of living a full life. \nThis free event takes place indoors at McIntyre’s Books. The space is ADA-compliant. Free parking is available on-site. No pets are allowed. Fearrington Village is part of the Chatham County Craft Beverages & Country Inns Trail.
