Former WSB-TV Anchor Hank Phillippi Ryan to Visit Woodstock
Hank Phillippi Ryan is coming back to her old stomping grounds and launching her latest mystery, WHAT YOU SEE, at FoxTale Book Shoppe

Multiple award-winning author and journalist Hank Phillippi Ryan will be at FoxTale Book Shoppe in Downtown Woodstock on Wednesday, October 21, 6:30pm for the launch of What You See, a Jane Ryland mystery. The wine and cheese reception is free to attend and open to the public. FoxTale, voted the Best Bookstore in Atlanta by Atlanta Magazine, asks that if purchasing the newest book, please do so from FoxTale.
Why would a father abduct his own child? A wedding is planned in Jane Ryland’s family, but there’s a disaster instead. Nine-year-old Gracie-supposed to be the flower girl-has been taken by her stepdad. Where are they? Is the girl in danger? Reporter Jane Ryland learns there’s a limit to the bonds of family-and learns to her peril what happens when loved ones are pushed too far.
Meanwhile, Detective Jake Brogan’s got a doozy of a case. At Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall, a man is stabbed to death in front of a crowd of tourists snapping photos of the murder on their cell phones. Solving the case should be easy, but the pictures and surveillance video lead him to a dark conspiracy of extortion and stolen lives.
Jane and Jake must explore where their loyalties lie-to each other? To their families? To their careers? If they make the wrong decision, the consequences could be fatal.
FoxTale Book Shoppe is located at 105 E Main Street, Woodstock. They are in the same center as Vingenzo’s and adjacent to the Woodstock City Park Gazebo. Phone: 770-516-9989.
