An Interview with Duane Swierczynski, Philly/Cali Maestro of Pedal-to-the-Metal Crime Fiction

An Interview with Duane Swierczynski, Philly/Cali Maestro of Pedal-to-the-Metal Crime Fiction

by Jason Bovberg | Feb 6, 2024 | Interviews, Journalism, Publishing

by Jason Bovberg | Dec 20, 2023 | Journalism, Publishing, Reviews
