The Wild Detectives will host author Mark Falkin as he discusses his YA debut, Contract City.

In Contract City the year is 2021 and the money is still green. The fully privatized city of Tulsa, Oklahoma is home to Sara Paige Christie, a teenage girl, and her camera trained on the graffiti-covered walls of the city's outskirts. In pursuit of a documentary subject that might propel her from college hopeful to film school admittee at UCLA, Sara has focused her ambitions upon a singularly ubiquitous tag - WH2RR??

Sara has no doubt that there is meaning hidden in plain sight, and she sets off on a mission to find the person behind the mysterious tags while balancing an already full life...
Tensions are rising in town and beyond. Between the machinations of the city's home-grown megachurch, Chosen Hill, and the movements of a growing camp of homeless citizens parked just beyond Tulsa's comfort and security, life in Tulsa is about to become very interesting, and Sara just might be in the right place to catch it all on film.
