HYDE PARK — Hyde Park author Blue Balliet will launch her new book, “Pieces and Players” on Tuesday at the Seminary Cooperative Bookstore.
In Balliet’s new book, Calder, Petra and Tommy team up with new sleuths Zoomy and Early to investigate the disappearance of 13 pieces of artwork from a secretive museum.
The story borrows some details of the famous art theft from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990, but translates it to the fictional Farmer Museum in Chicago.
The reading starts at 3 p.m. Saturday at the bookstore, 5751 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Space is limited, to reserve a seat visit the bookstore’s Facebook event page.
