Join us to discuss local author Mark Schorr's mystery novel Borderline. When a possibly paranoid patient

new series launch is a winner." -- Library Journal

stands in town after endless town. A veterinary student who almost earned his degree, Jacob is put in charge of
caring for the circus menagerie. It is there that he meets Marlena, the beautiful young star of the equestrian act,
who is married to August, the charismatic but twisted animal trainer. He also meets Rosie, an elephant who seems
untrainable until he discovers a way to reach her. "Gritty, sensual and charged with dark secrets involving love,
