The Bitch
Les Edgerton is an ex-con who spent two years and change in prison on a 2-5 year sentence for burglary at the Pendleton Reformatory in Indiana, dubbed by then-President Lyndon Johnson as “the single worst prison in the U.S.” Since his release, he has earned a B.A. from Indiana University and a MFA in Writing from Vermont College. This will be the fifteenth book he has published. His career for many years as an outlaw and criminal lend an air of rare verisimilitude to his crime novels.
