An Interview with Jordan Harper, Dark Poet of SoCal
If you're like most readers, you first encountered the fiction of Jordan Harper in his gritty, affecting debut novel, She Rides Shotgun. It's one of those crime novels you might call a slow grower—finding modest initial success and then gradually accumulating...
Review: “Desert Star” by Michael Connelly
I'm proud to say I've been reading Michael Connelly since the beginning. I still remember devouring the early review copies (Black Echo, Black Ice, Concrete Blonde) that we received at B. Dalton—and spreading word of mouth as loudly as I could. Even met the man a few...
