POCATELLO — Pulitzer Prize-winning author James Risen will be at Idaho State University’s Pocatello campus Friday to discuss his new book, “The Last Honest Man.”

The free event and panel discussion will be held in Frazier Hall at Idaho State University from 6 to 8 p.m. All are welcome. Other panelists include Kellee Kirkpatrick, Zac Gershberg and Colin Johnson.

“The Last Honest Man” examines the life and career of Sen. Frank Church, an Idaho U.S. senator at the center of numerous investigations into the abuses of power within the American government.
