| 7:30 PM | Book Talk: Sheila Grant Warwick’s presents Sheila Grant as she discusses and signs her new book, Passport to Danger, in conversation with Cristina Gurtman. Sheila Grant worked for CBS broadcasting in the late 1960s in the programming department under the legendary television executive Michael Dann, where she was a writer and analyst specializing in US-Soviet relations at the height of the Cold War. She attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas and The University of Texas at Austin where she studied English literature. She also attended the University of Mexico and the American Institute in Mexico City where she lived with Chela del Río, sister of famed actress Dolores del Río. It was Chela del Río who introduced her to the Mexico that became the backdrop of Passport to Danger. Grant is a bibliophile who devours Publisher’s Weekly and visits the nearest bookstore every Tuesday to purchase the new releases. Grant is a native of Dallas where she resides with her husband, Jody, with whom she has two adult children. Reserved Seating is available when Passport to Danger is pre-ordered from Warwick's through the linked green "Reserve Seats Here" button above. Only books purchased from Warwick's will be signed. Please call the Warwick's Book Dept. (858) 454-0347 for details. Passport to Danger is a thrilling story of espionage during the height of the Cold War with the action racing from posh office towers in New York City to a crescendo in the resort towns of Cuernavaca and Acapulco with stakes of nuclear proportions. The CIA-backed invasion of the Bay of Pigs had been repelled by Russian-armed Cuba, the Berlin Wall had been erected separating East from West, and the Cuban Missile Crisis had brought the US and Russia one launch button away from World War III. The arms race between the two world powers was at a fevered pitch and the Cold War was at its apex. It is against this backdrop that supermodel Elizabeth Lamont is recruited by the CIA after a case of mistaken identity and thrust into the conflict as a double agent impersonating notorious KGB operative Nicola Neumann.

| 7:30 PM | Lecture: Art Deco Paris Due to its 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, Paris is often credited as the birthplace of Art Deco. Known as the City of Lights, its sophisticated urban lifestyle and historical association with cutting-edge art and architecture made Paris an international magnet. In the aftermath of World War I, creative designers and intellectuals flocked to the city. Receptive to new and imported materials and exotic designs, they incorporated motifs from Africa, Asia, Mesoamerica — and especially Egypt — into meticulously crafted luxury items. This first lecture in the series explores Art Deco's popularity during the waning days of colonialism and the rise of modernism.

New York Times bestselling novelist Marie Benedict transports readers from the glamour and turbulence of 1920s Britain and Cairo to the sands and lush shores of ancient Egypt in Daughter of Egypt. Known for her “delightful blend of historical fiction and suspense,” Benedict weaves a sweeping tale of a young woman who unearths the truth about a forgotten Pharaoh, rewriting both of their legacies forever. In the 1920s, archeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon of Highclere Castle made headlines around the world with the discovery of the treasure-filled tomb of the boy Pharaoh Tutankhamun. But behind it all stood Lady Evelyn Herbert—daughter of Lord Carnarvon—whose daring spirit and relentless curiosity made the momentous find possible. Though not a trained archaeologist, Evelyn nonetheless pursued her passion, determined to leave her mark on the field and be treated as an equal by her male colleagues.
