Just Books
28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and open to the public

Sam Pryor, III, a Greenwich-native, will introduce the biography Make it Happen: The Fascinating Life of Sam Pryor, Jr. (Maple-Vail, $30), written about his adventurous father. Based in Greenwich, Conn., with much of the story in the Cos Cob section of town, Make It Happen presents a colorful life, a unique man, and opens a window into key events and people in the U.S. during the 20th century. "Luck doesn't just happen," Pryor would tell his children. "You make it happen." Spanning from 1865 until 1934, the book covers many of the important events during the early 1900's along with details on Pryor's many accomplishments.

ANDREW GROSS
DON'T LOOK TWICE

Andrew Gross
A Just Books' Event at Arcadia Café
20 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and open to the public


Favorite best-selling author Andy Gross will speak to fans and sign copies of his new thriller Don't Look Twice (William Morrow, $25.99). Gross is the best-selling author of The Blue Zone and The Dark Tide and co-author with best-selling author James Patterson of six popular thrillers. In Don't Look Twice, the book opens with a drive-by shooting on Putnam Avenue, a popular main thoroughfare in Greenwich, which leaves an innocent by-stander dead. Detective Ty Hauck gets sucked into a fast-paced and riveting trail of gambling and high-stakes corruption much of which takes place in Greenwich.
