Meet NYT Bestselling Author Caitlin Rother
New York Times bestselling author Caitlin Rother will be celebrating the release of Hooked – the first novel in her new “Katrina & Goode” thriller series, set in La Jolla.
The novel features Piatti La Jolla as the very bar where the two protagonists first meet – a scene that opens with one of them craving mussels and a dirty martini, anchoring the story in a distinctly local and atmospheric setting. To celebrate the book and connect directly with readers, Piatti La Jolla is inviting both the general public and select media to join a casual cocktail-hour gathering at the bar, featuring:
- A meet & greet and book signing with Caitlin Rother, with copies of Hooked available for purchase and signing on site
- The debut of a special dirty martini pairing inspired by the novel, available during the event and throughout February
- Light bites and signature cocktails curated by Piatti’s bar team
- The opportunity to experience the exact La Jolla bar setting that inspired a key moment in the book
This event brings literary culture and local storytelling together in a relaxed, social setting - offering readers the chance to meet the author behind the story, and media an engaging, story-driven moment at the intersection of books, food, and place.
