Clark, a former Los Angeles deputy district attorney and author of two novels about fictional Los Angeles prosecutor Rachel Knight, will give a presentation and sign her books at 7 p.m. at the Rancho Mirage Public Library.

The event is free and open to the public, library spokeswoman Susan Cook said.

Clark became a household name during the 1995 trial, in which Simpson was accused of killing ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

Simpson was acquitted after a nine-month trial.

Clark is now a special correspondent for “Entertainment Tonight,” writes a column for The Daily Beast and gives legal commentary for shows on CNN, HLN, NBC and ABC.

In 2011, she published her first Rachel Knight novel, “Guilt by Association.” The next novel, “Guilt by Degrees,” is scheduled to be released in May.

For information, call the library at (760) 341-7323.
