Bestselling author Steve Berry to speak May 24 at Jefferson Library benefit luncheon

New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry will discuss his newly released book The Jefferson Key at a fundraising luncheon Tuesday, May 24, from noon to 3 p.m. at the historic Mission Mill Museum at 1313 Mill Street SE, Salem, OR sponsored by the Friends of the Jefferson Library to benefit the preservation of the 150-year-old Jacob Conser House (which currently serves as the library) and to build a new library. In this time of drastic cuts in library funding, Mr. Berry’s love for libraries and passion to preserve our historic treasures made this cause near to his heart. For information and reservations, please call 541.327.2423 or visit http://jeffersonlibrary2010.blogspot.com/.

Steve Berry is the bestselling author of The Emperor’s Tomb, The Paris Vendetta, The Charlemagne Pursuit, The Venetian Betrayal, The Alexandra Link, The Templar Legacy, The Third Secret, The Romanov Prophecy and The Amber Room. A fixture on the New York Times bestseller lists, Berry has been translated into 40 languages, and has more than 11 million printed books in 51 countries, worldwide.

A devoted student of history, Berry is dedicated to researching his novels in depth.  In 2010 he and his wife, Elizabeth, founded History Matters -- a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding the preservation of the fragile reminders of our past.  Since then, they have traveled the world raising much-needed funds for a wide range of historic preservation projects.

His latest book is The Jefferson Key (Ballantine Books, May 2011). Beginning with the attempted assassination of President Andrew Jackson, Berry takes his readers on another slalom course of thrills as he deftly combines suspense with solid historical fact.  Former Justice Department operative, now Copenhagen bookseller, Cotton Malone, returns to the United States for his first domestic adventure.  Along the way he battles an obscure clause in the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson's secret cipher, an old enemy out for revenge, and a cadre of modern day pirates firmly rooted in their buccaneer ways.
