Scene @ J.A. Konrath’s Pizza Party

When J.A. Konrath (left) threw a party for his latest mystery, Dirty Martini, he invited fellow Chicago writers to join him at Chuck E. Cheese’s. Among those who heeded the call: Thomas J. Keevers, Melanie Lynne Hauser, Tasha Alexander, Renee Rosen, and Raymond Benson. On his official website, Konrath is making the first novel in the series, Whiskey Sour, available as a free download, as well as PDFs or MP3s of the first seven chapters of Bloody Martini (read by Susie Breck and Dick Hill).
