Hybrid: Second Floor Reads Non-Fiction Book Discussion

Zero-Fail by Carol Leonnig

Join us for our non-fiction book discussion group. This month’s title is Zero-Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig

Carol Leonnig spent nearly a decade reporting on the Secret Service, uncovering its scandals, outdated equipment, and toxic culture. Once reformed after JFK’s assassination, the agency later faced mismanagement, including break-ins, gunfire incidents, and a prostitution scandal. Under Donald Trump, promised reforms were ignored, and the agency’s flaws deepened. Through interviews with agents, officials, and whistleblowers, Leonnig exposes an agency in dire need of reform.

Reserve a copy of the book while registering (we'll let you know when it's ready to be picked up), or come to the Central Adult Information Desk.
