Join author Geoffrey Douglas for a reading from his new novel Love in a Dark Place!"...a moving, unflinching novel about human depravity, and the way love can coexist in its menacing presence" (Kirkus Reviews)Love in a Dark Place, set amid the decadence, corruption and everyday mob violence of 1980s
Atlantic City, tells the story of a young reporter’s almost impossible quest to do the right thing,
and to save himself—and the woman he loves— in the process. It is a chronicle of obsession,
memory, loss, and the lies and myths we tell and create of one another.
Geoffrey Douglas is the author of five nonfiction books, all widely-reviewed. One of them, The
Game of Their Lives, was adapted for a 2005 movie of the same name. He has also worked as
a reporter, columnist, editor and publisher, and is the author of many magazine pieces. For
several years through the 1980s, he was editor of an investigative weekly in Atlantic City, an
experience that provided much of the material for this book, his first work of fiction. He lives in
West Lebanon NH.
