As May signals the end of the spring semester, it also marks the arrival of new works of fiction by Penn Law professor Kermit Roosevelt, as well as New York Times best-selling author Kimberly McCreight L’98.

Roosevelt’s new novel, Allegiance, is out in stores this June from Simon & Schuster. Set during World War II, it’s a legal thriller involving a U.S. Supreme Court clerk and the debate around the internment of thousands of Japanese-Americans in prison camps.

Meanwhile, McCreight’s new novel, Where They Found Her, focuses on a journalist’s examination of a shocking death in a small college town in New Jersey, and secrets from the past the reporter’s investigation uncovers.

On Thursday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m., McCreight will make an in-store appearance at the Barnes & Noble in Rittenhouse Square, located at 1805 Walnut St. in Philadelphia, to meet readers and sign books.

Also, in May, Roosevelt and McCreight are featured guests on an upcoming edition of Penn Law’s podcast Case in Point, for the episode “How to successfully publish fiction.”

Kermit Roosevelt is an expert on Constitutional law and his previous novel is In the Shadow of the Law. Kimberly McCreight is also the author of Reconstructing Amelia, which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel by an American Author.
