Award-winning author Ivor Davis visits E.P. Foster Library to discuss his latest book, The Devil in My Friend: The Inside Story of a Malibu Murder. This book, written with his late wife, Sally Ogle Davis, chronicles their long investigation and the shocking revelation about a friend and neighbor who committed an unthinkable crime. Beyond the account of crime and investigation, this book examines the human condition, the complexities of the heart, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. Mr. Davis will read from his book, answer questions and sign copies. This event is free and open to the public.
