On Tuesday, 
Watchung Booksellers, Montclair, N.J., hosted a publication-day signing for Michael Laser's novel Eulogy (Regal House Publishing), which recounts the narrator's discovery after giving a eulogy for his late father that his dad had spent three years in prison, which he and his siblings didn't know. Then, with all the tension and fast pacing of a police procedural, the narrator tries to find out why his dad was in prison, learning about it only in fits and starts in a series of poignant conversations with older friends and relatives of his father, who he comes to appreciate in ways he could never have imagined.
