Cop Takes Readers for a Walk on Seattle's Wild Side

In support of his latest thriller, Unreasonable Persuasion, Northwest author and Seattle police captain Neil Low introduces his Seattle Murder Mystery Tour through the streets of Pioneer Square. Hosted in partnership with Tigress Publishing, the tour visits some of Seattle's most notorious and haunted crime scenes.

Reservations are now open for the next scheduled tour on Thursday, November 18th, 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., beginning at the Seattle Police Museum (317 Third Ave S).

Join Low as the evening kicks off at the Seattle Police Museum, where guests will listen to a lively reading from Unreasonable Persuasion and enjoy a wine reception. While at the museum, try escaping a vintage set of handcuffs or get a 'mug shot' taken in an authentic jail cell from the 1930s. Next up, participants learn all about Seattle's dark and seedy past as Low takes them on a chilling mystery ghost tour through the streets of Pioneer Square and includes behind the scenes "insider" information from actual police files. The tour concludes with a signed, first-edition copy of Low's Unreasonable Persuasion--the #1 best-selling mystery trade paperback sold in Seattle (Independent Mystery Booksellers Association) during the month of September.

Unreasonable Persuasion , the third installment in the Alan Stewart Mystery Series, once again finds young private investigator Alan Stewart paired with the beautiful and dangerous Vera Deward and embroiled in a mystery that is shaking the entire city. A well known and aging heiress has disappeared. Has she simply departed early for a glamorous honeymoon or has there been foul play? Tracking suspects in the murky cityscape, Alan and Vera soon discover there is no vacation from crime in the dark, misty streets of Seattle.

Currently the Commander of the Seattle Police Department's Metro/Special Response section, Low has been with SPD for over 40 years. A Seattle native, Low began his writing career when he returned to the University of Washington's Bothell campus to complete his college degree.
