The Mill Valley Library is thrilled to present an evening with #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me, Laura Dave. In her newest book, The Night We Lost Him, estranged siblings discover a secret their father has been keeping for more than fifty years — a secret that may have led to his death. 

Liame Noone was an exacting, self-made hotel magnate fleeing his past as well as a family man with three ex-wives. To Nora, he was a father who often loved her from afar—notably, a cliffside cottage perched on the California coast where he fell to his death. The authorities rule the death accidental, but Nora and her estranged brother Sam have other ideas. With Laura Dave’s trademark blend of soulful suspense and evocative family drama, The Night We Lost Him is a riveting page-turner with a heartbreaking final twist that you will never see coming.

Laura Dave is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Last Thing He Told Me and Eight Hundred Grapes. Her novels have been translated into thirty-eight languages, and six of them, including The Night We Lost Him, have been optioned for film and television. She resides in Santa Monica, California.

Our bookseller for this program is Sausalito Books by the Bay.
