✍️Lesley McEvoy interview by J.M. Hall - 31 July - Merchant Adventurers' Hall, Fossgate
Lesley McEvoy brings her fascinating journey from Behavioural Analyst/Profiler to acclaimed author.
Yorkshire-born Lesley spent 25 years in behavioural profiling, working in some of the UK's toughest prisons and the corporate world - where she quips she "found more psychopaths than in prison!"
Her debut novel "The Murder Mile" launched in 2019, leading to a multi-book deal for her Murder in Yorkshire series with Zaffre Books. We are delighted to be hosting Lesley's book launch for her fifth novel The Corpse Light released on 31st July the day before Yorkshire Day!
About the book -
A young woman is left for dead while walking the Yorkshire moors. A local man is found murdered at a landfill site. But what do these seemingly unconnected crimes have in common?
Forensic profiler Jo McCready is brought in by DCI Callum Ferguson to find out. Were the victims led to their deaths by the mysterious lights flickering on the moors?
But Jo has a secret. Local gangster and prison inmate, Chris McGarry, knows the dead man and wants revenge. He also has leverage on Jo, and as the investigation intensifies, he presses her to pass on police information.
Jo must tread carefully to find the killer. Will she follow the light - or step into the dark . . .
