About

Join us on Saturday, October 24th at 1pm to enjoy a Book Talk with local author Jay Atkinson for a discussion of his new Boston crime thriller, Storrow Drive . Jay Atkinson is a lecturer at Boston University’s College of Communication, has taught writing for nearly two decades. Leveraging his experience writing 10 books, both novels such as Caveman Politics and nonfiction such as Legends of Winter Hill, plus dozens of stories for magazines and newspapers. Storrow drive is a work of fiction, albeit heavy in the deep reporting and research of investigative crime journalism. Named after the avenue running between Boston University’s campus and the Charles River, the book explores an FBI campaign to disrupt street gangs and drug dealing in the city. The book is dedicated to Detective Scott Conley, who served on the Chelsea Police Force for nearly three decades. Detective Conley was a big part of several exciting episodes that occurred in the book and in real life. Jay looks forward to sharing personal anecdotes of Detective Conley as well as having a discussion of the Book and Q&A!
