In Conversation with Author Victoria Weisfeld, Architect of Courage
Thursday, February 16, 2023 @ 7:00pm via Zoom

Local author Victoria Weisfeld discusses her book, Architect of Courage, with the Pennington Public Library.

In summer 2011, the orderly life of Manhattan architect Archer Landis is upended by the murder of the woman he loves. When, to his surprise, the authorities link her to the Arab American community, their reflexive conclusion is “terrorist.” Landis sets out to prove them wrong but is hindered by additional mysterious attacks on everyone and everything he holds dear. To overcome these tragedies—and to survive—Landis must confront prejudice, self-doubt, the limits of loyalty, and a need for redemption that transcends revenge.

About the Author

Her first mystery thriller, Architect of Courage, was published June 2022 by Black Opal Books to a warm reception. She’s a reviewer for the UK website, crimefictionlover.com, and blogs at www.vweisfeld.com.
