Corinna Barrett Lain talk about Secrets of the Killing State

Corinna Barrett Lain is our guest at The NewSouth Bookstore on Tuesday, September 16 at 5:30pm. In conversation with Kacey L. Keeton, Lain will talk about her new book, Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection. The story of lethal injection is a story of gross incompetence, law breaking, torturous deaths, and stunning indifference to the way in which human beings die at the hands of the state. Death penalty expert Corinna Barrett Lain uses this groundbreaking examination of the dark reality of lethal injection to shine a light on the American death penalty more broadly and shows that the state at its most powerful is also the state at its worst. Washington Independent Review of Books calls Secrets of the Killing State “spectacularly engaging, crisply written, and full of moral clarity.” Don’t miss this special program, co-sponsored by the Faith Leaders of Color Coalition and Project Hope to Abolish the Death Penalty.
