Author Les Roberts to visit Westlake

Les Roberts

Author Les Roberts will meet and greet fans and autograph copies of his new book, "Wet Work,”  on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 1-3 p.m. at Barnes & Noble in Crocker Park. The event is free and open to the public.

"Wet Work" is the second novel in a new suspense series by Roberts featuring hit man Dominick Candiotti. Dominick is a dangerous and conflicted assassin who first appeared in "The Strange Death of Father Candy." Fan requests prompted Les to bring the character back for more action.
 
In the latest book, Candiotti learns a deadly truth: you can't simply retire from being a professional killer. The fast-paced plot leads him through several U.S. cities and beyond, including Cleveland, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Baltimore and Denver.
 
Les Roberts is the author of 17 mystery novels featuring Cleveland detective Milan Jacovich, as well as nine other books of fiction. The past president of both the Private Eye Writers of America and the American Crime Writer’s League, he came to mystery writing after a 24-year career in Hollywood. He was the first producer and head writer of the Hollywood Squares and wrote for the Andy Griffith Show, the Jackie Gleason Show, and the Man from U.N.C.L.E., among others. In 2003 he received the Sherwood Anderson Literary Award. A native of Chicago, he now lives in Stow, Ohio, and is a film and literary critic.
