Top thriller writer to visit Mission Viejo January 11

Jeff Abbott, a New York Times bestselling award-winning author of 15 mystery and suspense novels, will make a special appearance in Mission Viejo on January 11 to discuss his latest release “The First Order.”

Jeff will appear in the city’s popular Writers Present program at 7 p.m. inside the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.

Dubbed “one of the best thriller writers in the business” by the Washington Post, Jeff’s novels have been called “compulsively readable”; “nail-bitingly suspenseful and totally original.”

He has been published in many languages and has also been a bestselling author in the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Australia, Portugal and other countries.

Jeff’s novel “Adrenaline” was a Summer Great Reads choice by “The Today Show” and “Good Morning America,” and the novel along with two other books – “Panic” and “Collision” – have been optioned for film and are in script development.
