On Thursday, July 1 at 6pm, Edgar Award nominee and bestselling mystery author Paul Doiron comes to The Music Hall as part of the Live Under the Arch outdoor series. Doiron will discuss his new series crime novel, DEAD BY DAWN, where Maine game warden Mike Bowditch finds himself in a life-or-death chase where he must dissect the hours leading up to the ambush and solve two riddles: which one of these people desperately want him dead, and what has he done to incur their wrath?

“I'm so excited to have our Maine neighbor and bestselling author Paul Doiron on our Music Hall stage,” says Tina Sawtelle, Executive Director of The Music Hall and the evening’s moderator, “I’m looking forward to talking with Doiron about the next Mike Bowditch adventure—this new thriller is a book you won’t want to put down!”

The 6pm event includes a reserved table and signed books; an author discussion, moderated by Tina Sawtelle, Executive Director of The Music Hall; followed by an audience Q&A. It will be held in front of The Music Hall at 28 Chestnut St., in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
