May 5, PULLING RANK

Malice Domestic 26 Mystery Convention news: Sunday, May 5, I'm moderating a panel called PULLING RANK: Different Approaches to Police Procedurals. Frankie Y. Bailey, Vicki Delaney, Kate Flora, and Naomi Hirahara will talk about their very different cops. At a convention devoted to traditional mysteries (once called "cozies"), this should be fun! 10 AM in the Baccarat Room, Bethesda Hyatt Hotel.
