CRYSTAL FALLS — Local author James M. Jackson will have a book launch for his latest Seamus McCree mystery novel, “Granite Oath,” at 6 p.m. today at the Crystal Falls District Community Library.

Attendees can plan to hear Jackson read from his new tale and speak about his writing career and complete Seamus McCree mystery series.

Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library. Jackson will have copies of his books available for purchase.

All are welcome to attend.

A brief description of the novel, taken from James M. Jackson’s website:

“On a Thursday afternoon, Kat Serrano leaves work early, briefly returns to her remote trailer deep in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula woods, and drives off with no explanation to her family. Two days later someone ransacks the trailer.

“Kat is a Dreamer, and her mother won’t talk to the police for fear she’ll be deported and lose her 8-year-old granddaughter, Valeria.

Valeria is devastated by the events. She and her best friend from summer camp, Megan McCree, employ a ‘Pinky-swear’ to get Megan’s grandfather Seamus McCree to learn what happened.”
