Former Gov. Edwin Edwards will be in Lafayette on Thursday, Sept. 29 for a book signing at Trynd.

Edwin Edwards: An Authorized Biography, by author Leo Honeycutt, was released in December 2009, more than a year before the former four-term governor was released from a federal detention center following a 10-year sentence connected to a scheme to rig the riverboat licensing process. The 640-page tome chronicles Edwards' colorful personal and political life, much of it culled from jailhouse interviews Honeycutt conducted with the now 83-year-old Democrat.
