Author Richard Conrath Contributed
SANIBEL, Fla. For award-winning author and Ohio Valley native Richard Conrath, his recollections of coming-of-age in Cambridge, Zanesville and Steubenville provide the backdrop for his crime fiction trilogy.
In February, the Florida resident released the final in the series, “A Cold Copper Moon,” the cover of which promises “Fans will be chomping at the bit to read this final installment!”
A news release, meanwhile, notes, “If you are a fan of tense, crime fiction with a touch of sarcasm and dry humor, these books are definitely for you.”
One of seven children born in Cambridge in the 1930s, Conrath was a Catholic seminarian (1951-59 in St. John Vianney Seminary in Bloomingdale) and became an ordained priest in the Diocese of Steubenville in 1963.
