March 17, 2023, 7 PM, Back of Beyond Books and the Grand County Public Library present a reading and signing with Scott Graham and his new book: Saguaro Sanction

March 17, 2023

Saguaro Sanction

When Janelle Ortega’s cousin from Mexico is found brutally murdered at a remote petroglyph site in Saguaro National Park, she and her husband, archaeologist Chuck Bender, are drawn deep into a threatening web of hostility and deceit stretching south across the US-Mexico border and back in time a thousand years, to when the Hohokam people thrived in the Sonoran Desert.

Book 8 in Scott Graham’s National Park Mystery Series introduces readers to the landscapes and cultural histories of Saguaro National Park in southern Arizona, providing an inside look at the wonders of the wildly popular national park and its archaeological and cultural complexities.

In addition to discussing Saguaro Sanction we will also be looking at Scott’s earlier title, Canyonlands Carnage which is set near Moab in Cataract Canyon. Canyonlands Carnage was a finalist for the Colorado Book Award last year.

This event will be at the Grand County Public Library, 257 E. Center St. Moab, Ut. It is free and open to the public.

Stephen Hawking-Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He is known as one of the greatest scientific minds of all time. At 21, he was diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of motor neurone disease that paralyzed him gradually over decades. When his speech was eventually gone, he communicated through a speech generating device that was controlled by a handheld switch, and then eventually just a single muscle in his cheek. He has written many books on the universe, science, math, time, physics, and many more scientific concepts that he gave us the foundations to expand on today.

Hilary Mantel-Hilary Mantel was born on July 6, 1952 in Glossop, Derbyshire, England. She was diagnosed with a severe form of endometriosis and went through with the only procedure to help with the disease, which ended up disrupting her for the rest of her life. She’s most well known for her novels and short story collections, which often chronicle her opinions on current events (“The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher”) or her life and experiences (“Giving Up The Ghost”). She has also written many fiction novels, like the Thomas Cromwell or Every Day Is Mother’s Day series. She’s won many literary awards and received many honors in England and internationally. #Moabutah #read #summerreading #eatsleepreadlocal #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #Backofbeyond
