“The Euthanist” Thriller Book Discussion | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes Alex Dolan to the store to discuss and sign his new thriller, The Euthanist, on Tuesday, June 23rd at 6:30pm.

A young woman helps to end the lives of people with terminal diseases; her reasons are her own. When she helps the wrong person, she is roped into a plot to gain vengeance on behalf of dozens. They know her as Kali. She is there to see them off into the afterlife with kindness, with efficiency, and with two needles. She has been a part of the right-to-die movement for years, an integral member, complicit in the deaths of twenty-seven men and women, all suffering from terminal illnesses; and she just helped the wrong patient.

Leland Moon has been with the Bureau for his entire career, but even as a respected agent, he was unable to keep his own son from being kidnapped on his way to school. When his boy finally came home, he told terrifying stories of his captors, and his nightmares haven’t stopped since. Moon draws Kali into his mission, a mesmerizing cat-and-mouse game with two ruthless predators, one behind bars, one free who hold the secrets that could bring comfort to the families of their victims. This powerful journey towards grace and towards peace will force both Leland and Kali to question everything they believe to be true and just.

Alex Dolan was raised in Boston, lived in New York City, and currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition to writing for several publications, he has recorded four music albums, and has a master’s degree in strategic communications from Columbia University. The Euthanist is his first novel.
