Events › Author Visit: The Last Shadow

Now's your chance to meet, Michael Allen Zell, author of a new book titled The Last Shadow! He will discuss his new book, answer your questions, and sign-books at the Slidell Branch on May 14. 

The Last Shadow is a New Orleans story of three people, two paths, and one book that guides the way. Julius Mosley must make a choice between old and new ways when Maya Gaines, his prize martial arts student, unknowingly reconnects him with crime boss Vinh Nguyen, who he knows from a past incident that changed both of their lives. New Orleans, from the Riverbend to Versailles, with City Park in the middle, is the perfect tapestry for the tale to journey upon. This marks the beginning of a new series featuring Maya Gaines.
