The Past and Present Collide In Sara Winokur’s Ivory Bones: The Lewis Chessmen Murders

Happy Wednesday!

For this installment I got to chat with genetics researcher turned thriller novelist Sara Winokur about her sophomore novel, Ivory Bones: The Lewis Chessmen Murders. Within the pages and this interview we explore the dual timelines, one following a present day forensic geneticist and in the other a woman’s diary from the 1600s mixed in with the chaos of a modern day killer on the loose. It was a delight!
