Blacksburg Books presents an Author Night with Brett Lovell on Friday, January 19, 2024.
Join us for a reading and discussion with local author Brett Lovell. Brett's new novel, A Bad and Dangerous Man, is based on the true story of the Hillsville, VA courthouse shootout.
In 1911, a young man reignites a bitter political feud when he kisses the wrong girl at a corn shucking in the rural Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. Old grudges collide with corrupt politicians and culminate in a massacre inside of the county courthouse. The authorities blame members of the Allen Clan, a family of fiercely independent outlaws and moonshiners. The Governor of Virginia calls the shootout “the greatest crime in the history of Virginia, perhaps of the United States” and sends the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency to lead the manhunt after the sheriff, prosecutor, and judge are murdered in the courtroom.
Admission is free and no registration needed, just show up.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
