Vikings Talk w/ Author – Last Dance

Posted on April 10, 2013 by

Winston Patrick was a lawyer who abandoned a successful law career to become a teacher at a Vancouver eastside secondary. He’s already known for having solved one of the school’s murders, now he gets in the admin’s bad books for representing a student in a human rights case – against the school. Soon things get deadly and Winston Patrick is, once again, caught in the middle and forced to figure things out before he himself gets killed.

Come join us at lunch on Wednesday April 17 when we discuss Last Dance by David Russell WITH David Russell!
