NM BIOLOGIST-TURNED-AUTHOR VISITS PAGE ONE 3:00 PM SUNDAY, AUGUST 7

J.L. Greger, a former biologist and research administrator, will be at Page One Books 3:00 pm Sunday, August 7, to talk about and sign her latest mystery, "Murder: A Way to Lose Weight (The Science Traveler Series Volume 2)."

The book is described as such: "Dieting is hard. So is fitting into a new job where you aren’t wanted. In 'Murder: A Way to Lose Weight,' Dr. Linda Almquist is trying to do both as she investigates two diet doctors who are endangering the lives of their obese patients. When she finds one diet doctor dead, she and the police suspect the other diet doctor. Maybe they’re wrong. The murders might be related to something in the past—something involving the dean of the medical school. While Linda fears for her job, the police fear for her life."

Greger writes medical thrillers and mysteries with "sound-bites" of science. Before she started writing novels, she was a professor in the biological sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her previous books include "I Saw You in Beirut," "Malignancy," which won first place in the 2015 Public Safety Writers Association contest, "Ignore the Pain," and "Coming Flu." She lives in New Mexico.

Page One Books is located at 5850 Eubank Blvd NE, Suite B-41, in Albuquerque's Mountain Run Shopping Center (southeast corner of Eubank and Juan Tabo). The Greger event is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 294-2026 or visit www.page1book.com.
