About this event
Friday Barnes hits New York City in the latest instalment of our favourite bestselling detective series: Friday Barnes 13: In Plain Sight.
Join R.A. Spratt and The Bookshop Bowral for the exclusive local book launch.
The party will feature an author talk, Q&A session, book signing, special treat, fun and games - and probably mayhem.
Everyone is invited to dress up. However, only R.A. Spratt may bring a trumpet and/or rocket launcher.
About the book
When Princess Ingrid is kidnapped, along with her fiancé, Binky Pelly, it’s all over the international news. The King of Norway is distraught. The people of Norway are bewildered. And Ingrid’s bodyguard is fired. So, he calls on his least favourite Interpol agent for help – Friday Barnes.
The trail soon leads them to New York City, where finding a princess is harder than finding a tiara in a haystack. Can Friday unravel the mystery of the disappearing lovebirds? And when a Manhattan rockstar’s book of handwritten lyrics goes missing, it's up to Friday to restore this priceless artefact to its rightful home.
