The CU-Boulder Friends of the Libraries will present a talk by physician and mystery writer Robert Greer at its annual "Just Desserts" event on Friday, May 30.

The event begins at 7 p.m. in the Wittemyer Courtroom of the Wolf Law Building on the University of Colorado at Boulder campus and is free and open to the public.

Greer will discuss his fourth and latest CJ Floyd mystery novel, "The Mongoose Deception," in which reluctant investigator Floyd becomes embroiled in the mystery of who actually killed John F. Kennedy.

Greer is a professor of pathology, medicine, surgery and dentistry at the University of Colorado Denver and has been involved in cancer research for more than 30 years. He is the author or co-author of three medical textbooks, more than 125 scientific articles and two medical thrillers titled "Limited Time" and "Heat Shock." Other CJ Floyd novels include "The Devil's Backbone," "The Devil's Red Nickel" and "The Devil's Hatband." In 1986 Greer founded The High Plains Literary Review and serves as its editor-in-chief.

A light, catered reception will precede the program and books also will be available for purchase. Free parking is available in lot 470 located on the west side of the Wolf Law Building.

The event is co-sponsored by the Camera newspaper.
