MARQUETTE — Once Upon A Crime, the book group for mystery lovers, will meet at 7 p.m. Sept. 13 in the Dandelion Cottage Room at the Peter White Public Library to discuss “Death in the Andes” by Mario Vargas Llosa.

Army corporal Lituma and his deputy Tomas have been assigned to treacherous guard duty in an isolated, run-down mining community in the mountains of Peru. The men are homesick and far from enthusiastic about serving as foot soldiers in the Peruvian Army’s ongoing war against the Shining Path guerrillas. But soon they find themselves caught up in a series of mysterious disappearances involving the Shining Path.

This mystery from Peru begins the group’s year of reading “Mysteries from South of the Equator” each month. New members are welcome. For more information, call 228-9953.
