Allen Eskens (2015 Fireside Reading Series)

The Life We Buryย Author Allen Eskens adds some literary chills to the series when he reads from his twisting and evocative mysteryย The Life We Bury, called a โ€œmasterful debutโ€ in a starred review byย Publisherโ€™s Weekly. When college-student Joe Talbert’s writing assignment introduces him to a convicted murderer, he has no idea that it will send him tumbling into the heart of a thirty-year-old mystery that will threaten to end his life. In addition to his writing life, Eskens is a criminal defense attorney with over 20 years experience. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from the University of Minnesota, and a Juris Doctorate from Hamline University School of Law.ย The Life We Buryย is his first book.
