Book: The Dog Stars by Peter Heller - A pilot named Hig somehow survived the flu pandemic that killed everyone he knows. Now his wife is gone, his friends are dead, and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper, and a gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley. But when a random transmission beams through his plane’s radio, Hig risks everything to fly past his point of no return and discover the source of the transmission.

As we gear up for our two year study of murder and mayhem, the ARRT Crime Fiction Genre Study is putting together a website to centralize everything you need to know.  Check out the site below for the schedule, assignments, and notes from each discussion after it occurs. 

The first meeting will be held on 2/6/14 at Berwyn Public Library from 2-4p.  We'll be giving an Introduction to Crime Fiction and to the genre study itself.  You do not need to be a member of ARRT to attend to the first meeting.  We look forward to seeing at Berwyn, and hope you can join us as we delve into the world of crime. 

Everything you need to know is all in one place:
