A Talk by Raffi Yessayan, Crime Novelist and Criminal Defense Attorney
The Friends of the Walpole Public Library are pleased to sponsor a talk by Raffi Yessayan, author of crime novels and criminal defense attorney, on Thursday, May 24, 2012, 7:00 PM at the Walpole Public Library.
Raffi Yessayan is the former Gang Unit Chief in the Suffolk County DA’s Office in Boston. He has prosecuted violent offenders and has lectured nationally on the issues of gangs, guns and drugs. He is currently in private practice as a criminal defense attorney. Yessayan’s first novel, Eight in the Box, is a twisty legal thriller featuring a cast of prosecutors and cops working to bring to justice a killer with a frightening MO. His second novel, Two in the Hat, reintroduces assistant DA Connie Darget and Homicide Detective Angel Alves who struggle to stop a murderous psychopath. Both books are set in Boston.
The Boston Globe, in an article in 2010 named Yessayan as one of the crime authors “poised to possibly follow in Parker’s footsteps and make their mark with hard-boiled protagonists and gritty stories drawn from the streets of our fair city.”
The talk will be held in the Community Room at the Walpole Public Library, 143 School Street, Walpole, MA. The talk is open to the public and refreshments will be served.
