In his GREAT FALLS FORUM TALK, Paul will discuss how crime novelists often deal with social issues other literary genres struggle to address. From the opioid crisis to rural homelessness to post-traumatic stress among veterans of our most recent wars, Paul has found himself addressing topics that Mainers themselves identify as major problems for our state — all while trying to spin good yarns, of course.
