Welcome writers and readers! We are the Sacramento, California chapter of Sisters in Crime, an international mystery writers organization dedicated to enhancing visibility and representation of diverse voices in the genre and across the marketplace. 

Meet the Author with Anne Da Vigo

Please join us on Tuesday, February 11th from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. PT as Anne talks about her newest book, Night Flight.

Set in 1955, Night Flight is the story of 17-year-old Hannah Brightman, a lonely high school girl drawn into a deadly game with Jack, an angry, violent man. Can she escape his twisted scheme and rebuild her life? The story of Hannah and Jack—the real-life John Gilbert Graham, bomber of United Airlines flight 629—is a twisty, gripping read.

Anne Da Vigo is a journalist and novelist who covered murder and mayhem on the police and court beats during nearly twenty years working for newspapers. She grew up in Denver, and as a junior high school student remembers reports of one of the most horrendous sabotage events of the 20th century—the bombing of United Airlines Flight 629. The plane took off from Denver’s Stapleton Airfield.
