SUMMARY:Ernest Lancaster Book Signing-Police Puppeteer
DESCRIPTION:The Townsend Artisans Guild will host local author\, Ernest Lancaster\, for a book singing. POLICE PUPPETEER is the third book in the Memphis M.O. series.\nPOLICE PUPPETEER follows Captain Rick Munro\, as he attempts to prove his worth after Memphis’ mayor is assassinated under his guard. Standing in his way is a ruthless powerbroker\, masterminding supplanting the city’s government for profit.\nPlease enjoy this excerpt:\nAs he strolled down the sidewalk to his cruiser in the parking lot\, he met news anchor Charity Reynolds.\n“Good morning\, Captain”\n“What brings you to the firing range?”\n“We’re covering a story on the recruit class. You know anything interesting about it?”\nAlthough he’d never met any of them\, he knew plenty about a disparate group of men and women\, ranging from youngsters aspiring to protect the public and triumph as heroes\, to middle-agers desperate to stake down a meaningful claim in life\, to a sinister few aiming to milk positions of authority for all the ill-gotten profits they were worth. And the unimaginable costs in family and soul each one of them would pay for the privilege. But face to face with the news-industrial complex’s mouthpiece\, he just shut up.\n“Don’t know a thing. But I wish them all good luck. They’ll need it.”  \nEvent Location: 7719 E Lamar Alexander Pkwy\, Townsend\, TN\, United States\, Tennessee 37882
