The Wakefield-bred CPS prosecutor has written his second page-turner, Lost Souls, and will be at Drury Lane Library on Thursday, May 15 at 7pm to present it in a talk.
Wakefield Library Authority has chosen him as its author for its National Reading Year campaign.
Mr White, 43, works and lives in East Lancashire but was brought up in St Catherine Street, Agbrigg, and Rockley Drive, Kettlethorpe.
The dad-of-three now divides his time between the courtroom, family life, following the Wakefield Wildcats and writing.
His last book, Fallen Idols, was nominated for an award and earned reviews as far afield as India.
On Monday his latest book hit the shelves and he has high hopes for the story, which tells of the brutal murder of woman and a series of child abductions.
He said: "I can't be accused of being too grisly because of this case and that case. I've seen cases that are far worse but I don't copy directly from cases.
"You take some confidence from the fact you are not being over the top because of what people are doing in real life."
He is already working on his third book and there is a sneak preview of it in Lost Souls, which is published by Avon.
It is not the only book out at the moment that has Wakefield connections.
Breaking the Dams by Charles Foster, published by Pen & Sword Books, focuses on a Dambuster squad in the Second World War featuring Wakefield man William Hatton.
Yorkshire Hangmen by Stephen Wade is a Wharncliffe Books published work exploring the history of executioners, like the Pierrepoint family who worked at Wakefield Jail.
And Stanley author Dave Barker has self-published a collection of poems and stories called The Hidden Colours of the Dawn.
The book is his first and is the culmination of 20 years of writing.
Mr Barker, 43, is in negotiations with local booksellers to stock his debut work.
