Mystery novelist Michael Connelly has a nice piece in today’s L.A. Times about cold-case murders titled Old, but Never Totally Cold.

Until I read it, I hadn’t realized he has a new book out, titled The Closers.

And a new book means a book signing tour. I have read every book the man has written, but have never gotten the chance to meet him. (During his last book tour, I was in trial.) I excitedly went to his web site to see when the L.A. signing will be . . .

Turns out it was this weekend. I missed it.
