Title of Event: Author David Sundstrand Visits Bishop!
Spellbinder Books presents David Sundstrand, whose latest mystery, Shadows of Death, is set in the Eastern Sierra from the Owens Valley to the Mojave Desert.
In a tale that moves "as quickly as a flash flood" (Publisher's Weekly), author David Sundstrand's second mystery novel features BLM agent Frank Flynn and his adversary, Seth Parker, a relentless yet moralistic murderer who leads an extremist animal rights group, and kills in pursuit of "justice for the innocent, an eye for an eye-or a lip for a beak."
David's previous book, Shadow of a Raven, is now unavailable but was a definite favorite amongst East Side readers, making the Spellbinder Annual Top-Ten list in the year of its publication.
Sundstrand's characters spring to life against the backdrop of our very own Owens Valley, the Sierra Nevada, and the Mojave, and is as atmospheric as it is intriguing.
This is an event you won't want to miss! Mr. Sundstrand will be at the Black Sheep Coffee Bar (behind Spellbinder) on Friday, April 24th from 6:30 - 8:00pm to read from, discuss, & sign his book.
Copies of Shadows of Death are now available at Spellbinder.

Seth Parker is considered a terrorist by the FBI and is credited with many unusual deaths in Southern California. A man who cut the beaks off of pelicans is found dead and lipless. Another man who ran a dog fighting ring is found torn apart by his own dogs. Two boys who posted a YouTube video of themselves blowing up cats are missing, and no one expects to find them in one piece. When Parker kills two poachers in the Mojave Desert for shooting burros, he falls into Frank Flynn's orbit. The problem is that Flynn sympathizes with Parker more than he should. Because of this connection and his intimate knowledge of the desert, Flynn seems able to anticipate Parker's next moves, though he is always one step behind. With the opening of Sand Canyon, Flynn finds himself in the awkward position of having to protect an exclusive hunting resort. He'll have to come to terms with this duty, if he's to stay alive. David Sundstrand's second novel gives more incredible descriptions of the desert and a riveting story.
