Author and former Bainbridge resident Burt Weissbourd will visit Eagle Harbor Book Company at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 29 to discuss the final book in his Corey Logan trilogy “Minos.”

The title of this thriller derives from the mythical king of Crete, who condemns seven Athenian youths and seven maidens to be eaten by the ferocious Minotaur every lunar year.

“Minos” begins at the Olympic Academy, where a student, Sara, has just carved a magic circle in the hardwood bathroom floor with an ancient double-edged dagger. She twirls inside her circle calling on the Oracle of Apollo to help her find a modern Theseus, the reincarnation of Athens’ hero of all heroes, who slew the Minotaur.

Lost in her magical dance, she knocks over a candle, sets fire to the curtains and is suspended from school.

Sara is sent for treatment to Abe, who discovers that Sara has patched together an entire mythological universe and language with which she tries to make him see that lives are at stake. It is not easy to convince the authorities.

But Corey Logan knows that young people are indeed being murdered, and soon Sara’s dire warnings begin to make sense. But who is the modern-day descendant of Minos? The key is inside Sara’s head.

Weissbourd grew up in Chicago and graduated from Yale University with honors in psychology. He volunteered at the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and taught English to college students in Thailand. He has also lived in Los Angeles, Seattle and New York City.

Weissbourd produced several movies as well, including “Ghost Story,” starring Fred Astaire, and “Raggedy Man,” starring Sissy Spacek. He currently lives in New York City with his partner, Dorothy.
