Author Scott Siegler in Conversation with Journalist Brian Ross

Join us to celebrate the launch of MOBSTERS IN THE MANSION, Scott Siegler’s sensational and starkly unsentimental collection of stories about a prodigal son’s journey from quiet Midwestern affluence to the fabled offices of California’s entertainment industry. 

These are tales about power and pretense, faith and fraud, and mobsters of one kind or another. Told with cinematic intensity, psychological insight, dark humor, and electrifying twists, this collection reveals a uniquely American culture through an insider’s lens. David Chase, creator of The Sopranos, calls it “fearless and funny … so knowledgeable, so true.” 

The conversation will be followed by a reception and book signing. Registration is requested.
