MOLINE, ILLINOIS (September 12, 2022) — Enjoy an evening with bestselling and award-winning author Nickolas Butler at the Moline Public Library, Thursday, October 6, 6PM. Butler will read from his newest novel, Godspeed, and discuss his work. Books will be available for purchase after the presentation.

Praised by novelist CJ Box as a “page-turning, race-against-the-clock novel,” Godspeed is a stark exploration of the haves and have-nots, a cautionary tale of greed and violence that asks: How much is never enough?

Butler’s other works include his internationally bestselling and award-winning début Shotgun Lovesongs, Beneath the Bonfire, The Hearts of Men, and Little Faith.

You won’t want to miss this night!
