Our Author Events schedule is one of the nation's best. Each year we welcome dozens of authors to Kansas City, from debut novelists destined for greatness, to prize-winners, bestselling legends, and the biggest names in the news. Most of these events are held off-site, at venues that comfortably seat the large crowds we draw.

Box 21 by Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom, perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.When it was published in Sweden, Solo called it “suspenseful, gripping, and intelligently written . . . Almost impossible to put down,” while SVT exclaimed: “Forget crime literature; this is, simply put, great literature!”
Even by Andrew Grant, a heart-pounding action thriller for fans of Lee Child, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Robert Ludlum. "Modern noir at its best . . . Even is brilliantly plotted and smart, and delivers the bone-jarring kick of a .45." - Jeffery Deaver
The Venona Cable by Brent Ghelfi. Le Carre at 160 mph! Russian agent and criminal Alexei Volkovoy pays an action-packed visit to the U.S. to uncover secrets of the infamous Venona cables and to attempt to clear his family name
Gorgeous East by Robert Girardi. Ten years in the making, the long-awaited new novel from the author of Madeleine's Ghost.
