Description of Pictures: Monica Hesse, James Swanson -- Hesse's "The War Outside" is set in a WWII internment camp, where a German girl and a Japanese girl become secret friends. In Swanson's "Chasing King's Killer," James Earl Ray learns of Dr. Martin Luther King's plan to travel to a March in Memphis. He finds a boarding house near Dr. King's motel and sets up the location where he will commit a terrible crime.

Monica Hesse
Latest Title: The War Outside
Monica Hesse made her young adult fiction debut with “Girl in the Blue Coat,” which was named an Entertainment Weekly Best Book of 2016 and won the Edgar Award for mystery writing. In 2017, she further established her writing career with “American Fire,” published for the adult non-fiction audience. In a rave review, The New York Times said Hesse “has talent to burn.” With “The War Outside,” a timely and important look into a terrible part of America’s past, Hesse uses her expert research acumen to prove she is on the literary scene to stay.
