The world’s largest bookfair, Frankfurter Buchmesse, opened its doors last October 16-20, 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany. For worldwide business and trading, it is regarded as the most significant book fair on earth. More than 4,300 exhibitors and an expected 114,000 trade visitors from 131 countries, welcoming rights professionals from a total of 355 agencies and publishers make the Frankfurt Book Fair a place of endless discoveries. On the stages we experienced exciting international voices.
As the Frankfurter Buchmesse celebrates its anniversary for another year of serving the industry, Citi of Books did not miss the chance to join the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse) in Frankfurt, Germany. This spectacular gathering honors fascinating works and their creators.
With a series of activities prepared, one of the most anticipated this year is the chosen country to be the guest of honor, which is Italy. The country will present not just its diverse, unique qualities as an attractive place to travel but also as a country with a rich literary tradition.
Citi of Books is excited to present books written by our distinguished authors. In our assigned booth, a range of books—from fiction to nonfiction—would be on exhibit. A book included in the gallery was “After the Ride: Crime and Compassion” by JR Conway.
JR Conway, born in Washington DC in 1931. Retired Military, retired Law Enforcement. 12 years Private Investigator and owner of 240 employee security company.
“After the Ride” is a compelling sequel to JR Conway’s previous work, “Greyhound Therapy.” This novel delves deeper into the complex repercussions that small communities face when individuals arrive by bus, whether by choice or circumstance. The story examines the often-overlooked dynamics that arise when people transition from one jurisdiction to another, highlighting the ethical dilemmas confronted by law enforcement and mental health professionals alike.
This story circled on Sheriff Craig Spence, a dedicated lawman grappling with a significant resource shortage and an overwhelming influx of individuals requiring assistance. As he strives to uphold his commitment to public safety, he must also navigate the complexities of this new reality, balancing the demands of his job with the needs of the community. The book paints a vivid picture of Spence’s challenges, as he fights to maintain law and order while also providing support to those who find themselves in vulnerable positions.
“After the Ride” also seeks to answer many of the lingering questions from “Greyhound Therapy,” tying together the fast-paced events and character arcs into a cohesive exploration of resilience and empathy in the face of adversity. Through rich character development and an engaging plot, Conway invites readers to reflect on the broader implications of societal neglect and the human spirit’s capacity to adapt and thrive.
