Thursday, Jan. 26 10 AM - The Author's Table at Waccamaw Library presents Dana Ridenour.

When events spiral out of control she begins to realize, possibly a little too late, that her sworn duty may require her to betray the surprisingly deep friendships she has formed with the people who have let her into their highly secretive world. "I'm a retired FBI agent who spent about half of my career working undercover. I spent several years infiltrating domestic terrorism cells, many like the ones portrayed in the novel. The FBI is hardly ever portrayed factually in novels, television, or movies. I wanted to write a realistic FBI undercover novel.
