Francesca Lia Block discusses and signs "Beyond the Pale Motel"

Diesel, A Bookstore in Brentwood welcomes Francesca Lia Block to the store to discuss and sign her new novel, Beyond the Pale Motel, on Sunday, October 12th at 3pm.

Maternal, sexy Catt and her beautiful, daring, best friend, Bree, style hair at an L.A. salon called Head Hunter, and work out at a gym called Body Farm. They have over a decade of sobriety behind them and are getting close to living the lives they’ve always wanted. But when Catt’s husband leaves her, and then her neighbor is brutally murdered, possibly by a serial killer, Catt’s world begins to come crashing down. The murdered victims all seem to bear a chilling resemblance to Bree. Catt suspects that Bree is the next target of the Hollywood Serial Killer...is she losing touch with reality or simply coming to terms with the truth?
