Angelica Baker joins us to discuss her debut novel Our Little Racket: A Novel. Set during the financial crisis, the novel tells the story of Bob D’Amico, the CEO of a defunct investment bank based in Greenwich, Conn. Faced with accusations of malfeasance and shunned by their neighbors, D’Amico and the five women in his life question their place in their affluent community.

Angelica Baker will appear in conversation with Julia Pierpont at the Greenlight Bookstore (686 Fulton St., at S. Portland) at 7:30 p.m. on June 20.
