We have been absent for the last two months, but we have not been resting in the fresh summer grass. On the contrary, the Book Case team has been hard at work. Since announcing that NYC Life will broadcast our future episodes, starting Oct 29th (channel 25 if you live in NY) at 9:30 pm, we have designed a new program, much longer, jumping from 10 to 30 minutes. We have just wrapped the third episode. Watch the first of our promo trailers in the meantime. It has been airing since last Sunday on NYC Life. It will also broadcast on all the NY cabs coming this Sunday 09/16/12. Promo was conceived and executed by Frederic Colier and Max Shuppert.

The second promo trailer will be available through all the social media and BCTV in the next two weeks. Finally Book Case TV welcome your feedback on Facebook and would love to get your tweet.

The Queen of Scandinavia crime novel, Liza Marklund, makes a stop in Forest Park, IL, to address her entourage about her new novel “Last Will,” featuring her name-sake character Annika Bengtzon and her quest to catch the feline murderer of a Nobel recipient. But beyond the linear story, the book also investigates the nature of power, in the media and politics.
