Saturday Spotlight: Tony Knighton

We are pleased to introduce our new Saturday Spotlight Series at the Center City Barnes and Noble! This is a new event series focused on celebrating Philadelphia's amazing community of local authors with signings and meet-and-greets each Saturday at the Center City Barnes and Noble. Stop by the store, chat with the authors, and pick up a signed edition of their book!

Join us in welcoming Tony Knighton on Saturday, April 27th at 3pm. A Lieutenant in the Philadelphia Fire Department, Knighton is author of three Philadelphia-set crime noir novels: A Few Days Away, Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties, and Three Hours Past Midnight. Perfect for fans of fast-paced, hard-hitting crime fiction, Knighton's novels are pulpy, dark, and undeniably hard-boiled.

His latest novel is A Night at the Shore. A professional thief takes his girlfriend on a trip to the shore-but only to check out an easy heist he can't resist. She's had enough of his criminal life and intends to leave him. The 'easy' job goes bad fast, trapping him on an island in the midst of a deadly storm....pursued by the law and ruthless killers. He has to escape or he's going to lose the woman he loves... if he doesn't lose his life first.
