Discussion | The Lineup: Recurring Characters in Crime Fiction

Wednesday, November 11, 2009, 6:30 pm

Free

A panel with Lee Child, John Connelly and Carol O'Connell, moderated by Otto Penzler.

A great recurring character in a series you love becomes an old friend. You learn about their strange quirks and their haunted pasts and root for them every time they face danger. But where do some of the most fascinating sleuths in the mystery and thriller world really come from? In the anthology, The Lineup, Otto Penzler has gathered the best crime writers of today to tell the stories behind the detectives they've created.

John Connolly was born in Dublin, Ireland and is a contributing writer to The Irish Times. His first novel, Every Dead Thing, was published in 1999, and introduced the character of Charlie Parker who has been featured in seven of Connolly's novels.

Carol O'Connell is the author of eleven books, ten featuring Kathy Mallory, most recently Bone by Bone. She lives in New York City.

Lee Child has written thirteen novels featuring drifter Jack Reacher, including most recently Gone Tomorrow. He is also the editor of the anthology Killer Year.

Otto Penzler is the proprietor of The Mysterious Bookshop in New York City, and the editor of many mystery anthologies, including The Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection, for which he won an Edgar Award. He lives in New York.
