June 22 @ LWB Livestream: The Sacrifice of Lester Yates (novel) with Robin Yocum
A new political thriller from the author of bestselling novel The Essay, The Sacrifice of Lester Yates is about the notorious Egypt Valley Strangler, one of the country’s most prolific serial killers. Or, is he? Yates is two months from his date with the executioner when Ohio Attorney General Hutch Van Buren is presented with evidence that could exonerate him.
But Yates is a political pawn…Regional author Robin Yocum has been compared with E. Annie Proulx for his authenticity of place, and Elmore Leonard for his well-laid plots and perfect pacing. The Sacrifice of Lester Yates is Yocum at his best: suspenseful, political, and smart.
