Attorney-turned-author Joe Hilley will sign copies of Night Rain and The Deposition, his latest legal thrillers, Saturday, (Aug. 25) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at Page and Palette Bookstore, 32 S. Section St. in Fairhope.

Set along the Gulf Coast, Night Rain begins as a hurricane sweeps across Dauphin Island, a barrier island near the mouth of Mobile Bay. Dibber Landry waits for the eye of the storm to pass so he can plunder beach houses damaged by the storm. He finds more than he wants when he stumbles onto a dead body.

Outside, a hurricane rages but it’s nothing compared to the storm brewing in Night Rain.

The Deposition continues the story of Mike Connolly, telling his story through the eyes of his friends … and his enemies. The woman he rescued from a life of prostitution has a lot to say, if she can stay alive long enough to say it. There’s a lawyer who wants to make certain she never does and a priest who won’t talk even if it means losing his life.

They’re locked in a high-stakes race to see who lives to tell the dark secrets of men in powerful places, and who dies to keep them quiet.

Hilley is a native Alabamian, born in Birmingham and reared in Grand Bay near the vast expanses of marsh grass and low country which provide the backdrop for his books. His previous novels, Sober Justice, Double Take and Electric Beach were released to great acclaim.
