AuthorsLive@GreenwichLibrary and Diane’s Books presents New York Times bestselling author Andrew Gross on Monday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. in the Meeting Room. Gross heads in a new direction with his novel The One Man, a riveting historical thriller unlike anything he’s written before.
Set during World War II, The One Man tells of a US intelligence officer’s mission into the Third Reich’s most infamous concentration camp to find a prisoner crucial to the Allies’ war effort.
Andrew Gross received a degree in English from Middlebury College and a masters in Business Policy from Columbia University. After working for many years in the apparel business, he left the corporate world to attend the Writer’s Program at the University of Iowa. At age 46 he completed his first novel, Hydra, which came to the attention of James Patterson, who felt that Gross was particularly skilled at capturing women’s voices. A successful collaboration began. In 2006, Gross wrote his own novel, The Blue Zone and has had a series of bestsellers ever since, including the popular Ty Hauck detective series, many of which were set in Greenwich. His books have been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Gross and his wife live in Westchester County, N.Y.
Books will be available for purchase and signing through Diane’s Books. This series is open to all at no charge, but seating in the Meeting Room is limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
