Author Donald Levin, a favorite of West Michigan readers, will return to The Book Nook and Java Shop in Montague Wednesday, July 17, to talk about the three historical novels in his Detroit-based trilogy.
Levin will share the process of dipping into Detroit history to produce the trilogy, which includes the first book in the series, “Savage City,” and the thriller “The Arsenal of Deceit.” He will read excerpts from his third book, “The Ghosts of Detroit,” which will be released this fall. During his more than four decades of versatile writing professionally, Levin also produced a popular mystery titled “In the House of Night,” a novel “The House of Grins” and three acclaimed books of poetry. Levin is originally from Boston and now resides in Ferndale, Mich. The July 17 event begins with a meet-and-greet at The Book Nook at 6:30 p.m. Levin will speak at 7 p.m. This event is free and open to everyone.
The Summer Book Talk Series will continue July 24 when author Maureen Dunphy returns to Montague to talk about her award-winning book “Divining: A Memoir in Trees.” It is a 2024 selection by the Sierra Club and finalist for the Midwest Book Awards.
