New York Times bestselling author ROBERT DUGONI and co-authors, CHRIS CRABTREE and JEFF LANGHOLZ, Ph.D., join BOOKSTORM Podcast to discuss HOLD STRONG, their epic novel based on the lives of real-life heroes! Part of the book takes place during the Bataan Death March in the Philippines during WII (and in the South China Sea) … and a portion takes place in war nerve centers stateside. We talked about the role of faith, humor, and friendship in surviving the un-survivable. Wait until you hear about the role of women in the Navy's non-combat roles, including the incredibly talented code-breakers! Given the extraordinary trauma these characters experienced, is there such a thing as returning to “normal” life after war, or is there forever a new normal? Must they compartmentalize what they experienced? We had a poignant discussion about respect for life when the choices are stark. Powerful! How does love thrive in these difficult circumstances? Be sure to listen to Robert's incredible personal story at the end - we had chills! Join us – you'll be so glad you did!You can find more of your favorite bestselling authors at BOOKSTORM Podcast!

He shares insights on those characters we love to hate: the sociopaths, the manipulators. We discussed the difficulty of dealing with a family member with addictions, especially when those wounds run deep. We talked about how the difficult cases -- and the difficult events in life -- are the situations that teach us the most about ourselves.

Stacy Green, Author joins Pamela Fagan Hutchins on Crime & Wine to talk about her 9th Nikki Hunt crime thriller, STOLEN MOTHERS, and much, much more! About STOLEN MOTHERS: Children run through the streets in their Halloween costumes, giggling happily, not noticing the blood on the house is real. A baby girl is tucked up asleep in her room. Her mother's body lies motionless in the front yard, pink petals on the ground beside her… Arriving in the quiet community of Mulberry Creek, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is shocked that amongst the chaos of costumes and fake, silver spider webs, a new mother called Kiania Watson has lost her life. A blooming rare flower placed carefully in her cold, bound hands. Nikki's legs go weak: it's the mark of a serial killer she's met before. Nine years ago, Nikki fell in pursuit of a masked man who'd killed a young girl at a cabin in rural Minnesota. Seeing her cradling the bump of her pregnant belly, he'd spared her life. She was told he'd died in a shoot-out days later. But the pink flower only grows at that cabin: it's a message to Nikki. Nikki's team are quick to suspect Kiania's abusive husband. But Nikki finds two further, similar murders in other states. Flowers were left in their palms when they died. Nikki's heart breaks when she realizes all the victims were mothers to newborn babies. Digging desperately into old case files, Nikki finds blood on a rock she secured nine years ago, which has never been tested. But not before receiving a desperate call that another woman has just been taken. This twisted killer is playing a deadly game, and Nikki must risk her own life if she has any chance of returning this mother to her child alive… A dark, twisty and heart-racing thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat, reading it in one sitting. Fans of Kendra Elliot, Lisa Regan and Robert Dugoni will be addicted to the suspense in this tightly-woven page-turner. About Stacy Green: Stacy Green is a USA Today best-selling author of more than a dozen mysteries and thrillers.

True Crime Tuesday presents A Killing On The Hill with Researcher/Author, Robert Dugoni! A Killing On The Hill is Dugoni's first historical novel, a true crime thriller set in 1930s Seattle during Prohibition and the Great Depression.  The book was inspired by a real-life shooting at a notorious nightclub on Profanity Hill. The victim is Frankie Ray, a former prizefighter, and his accused killer is the club's owner and mobster George Miller (George Moore in real life), who claims he pulled the trigger in self-defense. The crime, investigation, and ensuing criminal trial had the entire city transfixed, and competing newspapers raced against each other to land the biggest scoop on each development.  Dugoni learned about the case after discovering scrapbooks filled with articles about the shooting, arrest and trial collected by his wife's grandfather, who was a local attorney at the time. Through those dozens of articles, books on the historical period, and with the help of an enthusiastic librarian at the Seattle Public Library, Dugoni immersed himself in the time and place, studying the details of the boarding houses, speakeasies, gambling establishments, and houses of prostitution of the 1930s. He was shocked by the dichotomy of unemployed men and their families living in cardboard shacks and starving in Hoovervilles, alongside gangsters who opened opulent private nightclubs in mansions, where wealthy and prominent members drank, gambled, and danced. Bob Dugoni joins TCT today to talk about the book, it's true life characters, the city of Seatlle at the time the book is written, and why it is so easy to be forgotten in the sands of time, and why we strive so hard to be remembered...  Get your copy of "A Killing On The Hill": here:  https://www.robertdugonibooks.com/killing-on-the-hill Check out Robert Dugoni at his website:  https://www.robertdugonibooks.com/ Check out Robert on social media: Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/AuthorRobertDugoni Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/robertdugoni/ x:  https://twitter.com/robertdugoni PLUS DUMB CRIMES AND STUPID CRIMINALS!

On today's 126th episode of The Thriller Zone, I'm excited to welcome New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of over two dozen riveting thrillers!Bob's been a talent I've dreamt of having on the show for a very long time; at least since I launched this podcast nearly two years ago. Finally, we have time to sit down and discuss his prolific body of work. It includes: The Tracy Crosswhite police series, the Charles Jenkins espionage series, the David Sloane legal thriller series, plus several stand-alone novels.But the Big News of Today is the launch of his fourth series starring Keera Duggan, a former chess prodigy who's recently left her job as a Seattle prosecutor after a romantic relationship with a senior colleague ended badly. She returns to her family's failing criminal defense law firm, which is being driven into the ground by her alcoholic father, in hopes of restoring her family's reputation and her career.I'll save the rest of the details for YOU to discover.

In fact, once you read Bob's work, you, like I, will quickly discover a favorite new author for your bookshelves. The book dropped yesterday (3.28), and you might as well order a copy now.Episode Summary:We discuss our mutual appreciation for the craft of writing, studying the works of great authors like Stephen King, and how Bob's background in law has taught him the importance of discipline in his writing routine. We explore the art of editing and the importance of cutting unnecessary content, as well as the challenges of quieting the inner critic while writing. We also discuss the process of weaving a chess game throughout a novel, the importance of adaptability and intuition in both the game and the legal profession, and the humbling experience of receiving praise from fellow authors.

Barbara Peters in conversation with Robert Dugoni

Keera Duggan was building a solid reputation as a Seattle prosecutor, until her romantic relationship with a senior colleague ended badly. For the competitive former chess prodigy, returning to her family's failing criminal defense law firm to work for her father is the best shot she has. With the right moves, she hopes to restore the family's reputation, her relationship with her father, and her career.Keera's chance to play in the big leagues comes when she's retained by Vince LaRussa, an investment adviser accused of murdering his wealthy wife. There's little hard evidence against him, but considering the couple's impending and potentially nasty divorce, LaRussa faces life in prison. The prosecutor is equally challenging: Miller Ambrose, Keera's former lover, who's eager to destroy her in court on her first homicide defense.As Keera and her team follow the evidence, they uncover a complicated and deadly game that's more than Keera bargained for. When shocking information turns the case upside down, Keera must decide between her duty to her client, her family's legacy, and her own future.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

New York Times Bestselling author Robert Dugoni joins BOOKSTORM to discuss Her Deadly Game! This story is an intricate, masterful web of a murder mystery! Since Robert's characters have such depth, we easily jumped into a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion about life, families, law, and justice. How can a criminal attorney defend a criminal? Is a criminal trial even about finding the truth? Is truth the same thing as justice? We talked about empathy and the human mind. We talked about the skills associated with the game of chess. How do those skills translate into real life? How do you stay one step ahead of an enemy? And we were just getting started! We discussed what happens when professional obligations -- or anything else for that matter -- begin to control our lives. Have we given up our power? Is that sustainable for anyone? And as if that's not enough, we talked about family dynamics and family businesses. That can be a bumpy road. Can you relate? Join us -- you'll particularly love hearing Robert's observations on fiction that matters ... to him and to us all. 

Roger Stelljes discusses his 5th Tori Hunter thriller, THE SNOW GRAVES, and much more with Pamela Fagan Hutchins, on Crime & Wine. About Roger Stelljes: A proud native of Minnesota and a voracious reader of novels, Roger is also an avid sports fan, particularly of the Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey team as well as the Minnesota Twins, Vikings and the Wild. If you can't find him at a game, you might find him on one of Minnesota's lakes, golf courses, or at a local hockey rink. He became a fan of Michael Crichton, David Baldacci, W.E.B. Griffin, Robert Ludlum, James Patterson, Michael Connelly, Tami Hoag, John Sandford and Vince Flynn. All of them in one way, shape or form have influenced his writing. About THE SNOW GRAVES: The young couple lies still on the snow-covered sidewalk, their gloved hands tightly linked as though they could save each other. But flashing blue lights illuminate the quiet street, and drops of blood scatter the pure white ground… Agent Tori Hunter is heartbroken at the murders of Cam and Gracie, two college students dating for just a few months, shot dead outside his aunt's home. With witnesses in this once-peaceful neighborhood saying they saw a black car speed away, Tori is desperately tracking it down when a nine-year-old girl is found sitting alone on a park bench, refusing to speak. No-one in this small community knows who she is… is she somehow linked to the murders? Visiting little Alisha as she huddles in her pink coat, Tori quickly realises she is deaf. As her hands move in sign language Tori makes out her message: We had to run from the lady in the black car. I want to go home. Did Alisha witness Cam and Gracie's killer? Tori is racing to follow her directions to a lonely cabin deep in the pine forest when she gets an anonymous call from a female voice that makes her blood run cold. “Hello, Tori. To keep Alisha safe you need to do exactly as I say…” Is Tori speaking to the killer, or is putting her trust in this mysterious woman her one hope of catching the true perpetrator? As more phone calls come, it's clear the voice knows all about a cold case from Tori's past—and that Tori must confront this twisted mind, and her own darkest demons before more innocent lives are lost. An absolutely unputdownable read that will have you gasping at the twists and turns. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Gregg Olsen and Melinda Leigh.

Join Pamela Fagan Hutchins with B.R. Spangler in discussion about his 8th Detective Casey White crime thriller, THEIR RESTING PLACE... and more! B.R. Spangler is a USA TODAY Bestselling Author of Mysteries and Crime Thrillers. A resident of Virginia with a wonderful family, including five cats, two birds and a lizard. During the day, the hours are filled with engineering work. Off hours, time is spent writing, editing, and thinking up the next great story. With too many stories to write, books are split across pen names, writing crime thrillers, science fiction, horrors, paranormal and contemporary fiction. About THEIR RESTING PLACE Out in the field the tall stalks sway in the breeze, hiding a girl lying on the ground as if asleep. But she doesn't stir when rain falls from the gray sky and lands on her soft cheeks. Her beautiful dark eyes stare up, unseeing, as her blood mingles with the rich brown earth. When a member of Detective Casey White's team turns up at her door begging for help, Casey races to find the broken body of twenty-year-old Charlie Robson abandoned in a sunflower field. Yellow petals and broken stalks scatter the ground—and Casey immediately recognizes the red markings all over Charlie's body as arrow wounds. Heartbroken, Casey vows to find the monster who would hunt Charlie down like this. Interviewing Charlie's distraught mother, Casey's blood turns to ice when she learns about a tightknit group of Charlie's best friends who once called themselves The Sunflower Girls. They met in archery club and have drifted apart since high school. Casey knows the killer is sending a message with arrows… could the other girls be next? But as Casey instructs her colleagues to track down the five remaining friends, another girl's body is found, shot with arrows in her own home. Clutched in her hand is a broken sunflower petal. Turning the house upside down Casey finds a bone-chilling, one-word note: Guilty. Someone is picking off The Sunflower Girls one by one. But why? Interviewing the four remaining girls, Casey is certain they are hiding a dark secret that stretches back to their school days. Trusting no-one, Casey will have to risk everything to track down a deadly killer… but with her own team keeping secrets too, could the real danger be much closer to home? An unbelievably twisty rollercoaster ride that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Kendra Elliot and Lisa Regan totally hooked until the last explosive page!
