Robin Yocum’s non-fiction work comes directly from his journalism career. Insured for Murder, co-authored with fellow Columbus Dispatch reporter Catherine Candinsky, was his first published book. It tells the story of a real insurance fraud case that turned deadly.
Dead Before Deadline collects more of Yocum’s non-fiction writing. Both books reflect the same attention to local detail and working-class characters that later defined his novels.
