You know you've found a series character when months after reading it—that character sticks in your mind. Reed Farrel Coleman's Nick Ryan is that character for me. In this second book of the series, Blind to Midnight, Nick Ryan follows the trail of professional killers who assassinated his “Uncle Tony” and his wife. Another crime might be connected, one which took place in the shadows of 9-11 in the heart of New York. A fantastic series and highly recommended. Sleepless City (the first in the series) was the Authors on the Air Book of the Year. In an interview that should be required listening for aspiring and new fiction writers, Reed talks about the importance of character, why they must have a life off the page, and how supporting—not secondary—characters are a reflection of the protagonist. In conversation with James L'Etoile for Authors on the Air.

“Thoughtful moral questions and a truly great new character in Nick Ryan.

In fact, they don't talk about him at all.He doesn't wear a uniform, but he is the most powerful cop in New York.Nick Ryan can find a criminal who's vanished. Or he can make a key witness disappear.He has cars, safe houses, money, and weapons hidden all over the city.He's the mayor's private cop, the fixer, the first call when the men and women who protect and serve are in trouble and need protection themselves.With conflicted loyalties and a divided soul, he's a veteran cop still fighting his own private war.

The pace is relentless, the plot smart, his new lead character, Nick Ryan, is a hero for the times…Reed is a brilliant storyteller.” --Louise Penny, #1 New York Times bestselling author When you're in trouble, you call 911. When cops are in trouble, they call Nick Ryan. Every cop in the city knows his name, but no one says it out loud. In fact, they don't talk about him at all.

SEASON 2, EPISODE 2This week top-shelf author REED FARREL COLEMAN stopped by DSD HQ to chat with Jay Stringer about the new book and more.INNOCENT MONSTER from Tyrus Books:Seven years have passed since the brutal murder that tore Moe Prager’s family apart and six years since Moe brushed the dust off his PI license. But when his estranged daughter Sarah comes to him with a request he cannot refuse, Moe takes a deep breath and plunges back into the icy, opaque waters of secrets and lies. Sashi Bluntstone, an eleven-year-old art prodigy and daughter of Sarah’s dearest childhood friend, has been abducted. Three weeks into the investigation, the cops have gotten nowhere and the parents have gotten desperate. Desperation, the door through which Moe Prager always enters, swings wide open. Just as in Sashi’s paintings, there’s much more to the case than one can see at a glance. With the help of an ex-football star, Moe stumbles around the fringes of the New York art scene, trying to get a handle on where the art stops and the commerce begins. Much to Moe’s surprise and disgust, he discovers that Sashi is, on the one hand, revered as a cash cow and, on the other, reviled as a fraud and a joke. Suspects abound beyond the usual predators and pedophiles, for it is those closest to Sashi in life that have the most to gain from her death. Cruel ironies lurk around every corner, beneath every painting, and behind every door. Almost nothing is what it seems.Innocent Monster is a book of children and parents, of lives lost and found. It is a variation on the theme of good and evil, each often wearing the other’s disguise. Beware the innocent monster for it need not hide itself and it lives closely among us: sometimes as close as the mirror...Praise for Innocent Monster"Sashi Bluntstone, the 11-year-old Next New Thing on the New York art scene, has been abducted, and Moe Prager—former NYPD cop and former PI—is asked by his estranged daughter, Sarah, to join the search. He expects only tragedy; Sashi has already been missing for three weeks, and he hasn’t been a PI for seven years. Now a well-to-do wine merchant, Moe agrees, primarily to attempt to restore his relationship with Sarah. He quickly learns that nothing increases the value of paintings faster than the death of the painter. Suspects abound: wealthy, self-important collectors; greedy gallery owners; odious rival artists; even the victim's parents. But Moe abides. This sixth Moe Prager novel is pretty much note-perfect. Coleman's take on the art world as a den of iniquity is priceless, as is Moe himself—intelligent, street smart, and tough, especially for a sixtysomething. He’s also sophisticated, despite seeing himself as a “poor schmuck from Brooklyn.” He’s a mensch, and his bone-deep world weariness and mordant sense of humor should enthrall lovers of old-school, tough-talking, loner private eyes (think Loren D. Estleman's Amos Walker)."—Booklist (starred review)"In Shamus-winner Coleman's darkly impressive sixth Moe Prager mystery (after 2008's Empty Ever After), the retired Brooklyn PI takes on a baffling missing person case only because his estranged daughter, Sarah, begs him to help. In the three weeks since art prodigy Sashi Bluntstone, the 11-year-old daughter of Sarah's childhood friend Candy Castleman, disappeared from a walk on the beach near her Long Island home, the police have found no trace of the girl, who "skyrocketed to prominence at age four when her Abstract Expressionist paintings... began selling for tens of thousands of dollars." Prager, who encounters a host of ugly characters, including parents Max and Candy, who aren't telling all they know, and resentful painter Nathan Martyr, becomes increasingly sure that Sashi is dead, but keeps slogging along. His past as a cop, his guilt over his wife's murder, and his current career as a wine merchant make Prager a complex character well suited to handle a complex mystery."—Publishers WeeklyTOUR DATES:Oct. 7, 2010, 7-9 pmMysterious Bookshop, 58 Warren St., NYCLaunch Party for Innocent MonsterOct. 14-17, 2010Bouchercon 2010, San FranciscoOct. 15, Friday, 8.30 am: Romance to Murder panel, moderatorOct. 16, Saturday, 3 pm: Monkey is BackOct. 18, 2010, 6.30 pmMurder by the Book2342 Bissonnet St., Houston, 713-524-8597with S.J.

TOWER by Ken Bruen and Reed Farrel Coleman

"If you can't write hard-boiled fiction about Coney Island, you're in trouble: the decay; the disappointment of what something once was, and what it is now. It's symbolic of how people view their lives. They start out as the Empire State Building, but by the end--or middle age--they look around, and they're Coney Island." So says author Reed Farrel Coleman, discussing his latest Moe Prager mystery SOUL PATCH--comments that distill hard-boiled to its addictive but acid essence. Though his 2005 THE JAMES DEANS was a tough act to follow (it won the Anthony, Berry, and Shamus Awards), Coleman does an admirable job with the latest installment in the series. By narrowing the scope of the intrigue he increases its intensity, etching in painstaking detail the emotional profile of a man facing himself in middle age.

The format of the podcast, which slightly differs from ONE HEAT MINUTE, utilises the entire final twelve-minute climax of Mohicans as a portal to explore the themes of the movie. The show examines the cross-section of political apparatuses, colonial superpower wrangling, and Mr Mann's riff on the "great American hero." The final episode - once again will feature Mr Mann to unpack his intentions with the film in the conception and orchestration of its grand ending.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/donations
