Author Talk: Charles Belfoure, “The Fallen Architect”

A tragedy has happened due to an architectural flaw by Douglas Layton. He is sentenced after a guilty verdict but is it really as a result of his design. After prison he needs to assume a new identity and rebuild his life. But he soon finds himself digging up the past in a way he never anticipated. If the collapse was not an accident … who caused it? And why?

The Fallen Architect is the latest from novelist Charles Belfoure, the nationally bestselling author of The Paris Architect, who’s been called “an up and coming Ken Follett” (Booklist). An architect by profession, Belfoure graduated from the Pratt Institute and Columbia University. His area of specialty is historic preservation, and he has published several architectural histories. He has been a freelance writer for The Baltimore Sun and The New York Times, and lives in Maryland.
