An Honorable Assassin (The Nick Mason Novels) by Steve Hamilton https://amzn.to/3ADoYjG From two-time Edgar Award-winning author Steve Hamilton, An Honorable Assassin is another terrifying thriller featuring the unstoppable Nick Mason. He was released from federal prison to a second life as an unwilling assassin, serving a major Chicago crime lord until the day he finally won his freedom. But that freedom was a lie. Now Mason finds himself on a plane to Jakarta, promoted to lead assassin for a vast shadow organization that reaches every corner of the globe. This time, there's only one name on his list: Hashim Baya--otherwise known as the Crocodile--international fugitive and #1 most wanted on Interpol's "Red Notice" list. Baya is the most dangerous and elusive criminal Mason has ever faced. And for the first time in his career ... Mason fails his mission. Baya gets away alive. There's only one thing he can do now: to save himself, his ex-wife, and his daughter, he must make this mission his life, hunting down the target on his own. But Mason isn't alone in his search, because for Interpol agent Martin Sauvage, apprehending Baya has become a personal vendetta. Sauvage is a man just as haunted as Mason. And just as determined. Never have the stakes been so high, the forces surrounding him so great. Sauvage wants Baya in prison. Mason needs him in a body bag. Assassin and cop are on a five-thousand-mile collision course, leading to a brutal final showdown--and the one man in the world who can finally show Nick Mason the way to freedom. About the author Steve Hamilton is the New York Times bestselling author of both the Alex McKnight series and the standalone novel The Lock Artist, currently in film development. He's one of only two authors in history (along with Ross Thomas) to win the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and then to follow that up later in his career with an Edgar for Best Novel. Beyond that, he's either won or been nominated for every other major crime fiction award in America and the UK, and his books are now translated into twenty languages. He attended the University of Michigan, where he won the prestigious Hopwood Award for writing.

Somewhere in the suburbs of Long Island, NY comes a young entrepreneur by the name of Ross Thomas aka Rouges P. Since the mid 1990’s, after a stint in the US Army and crawling his way through the streets, Rogues began his climb in the music industry. He started out writing poetry at a very young age, entering and winning writing contests across Long Island. Around 1997, he entered a few talent shows and was often told how good he was. Rogues states “Everyone that knew me told me that I was good and with a little more practice I could make a name for myself.” He decided then to take all the advice and constructive criticism he could and keep it in mind and grow as an artist. Since then, he has performed nationally and overseas. In addition, he has opened up for names such as Black Rob, Rah Digga, Fred Da Godson, Mr. Cheeks of the Lost Boyz as a special guest on the Shut Em Down Tour along with countless others, and also performed at TGI Friday's in Westbury, NY and the legendary BB King's Blues Club in NYC. In addition, he headlined a Cancer Benefit in March of 2018 in Spanaway, Washington and organized the Dementia Awareness Benefit Event on Long Island, NY in October 0f 2018. Rogues recently released his new single “Your Desire” ft. Scotty Mac on all major digital music platforms. In 2019, Rogues will be headlining his own tour, "The DRR American Royalty Tour in Australia" w/ special guest OddBall and members of his team, Dark Reign Royalty. With the growth he’s shown as an artist and businessman, Rogues’ catch phrase “They Know Me” is most definitely appropriate. Be on the lookout for this growing artist and businessman in the music industry as he and his team are sure to take the world by storm.

Andy and Dani read Briarpatch by Ross Thomas. The best “f*ck you” characters and “f*ck you” money, 2020 still sucks, and noir turns Dani into a heartless monster.
Continuing our quarantine-friendly series of running guests who are famous for things other than running, I was ecstatic to welcome Andy Greenwald into the Pain Cave this week. Andy got his start as a music critic for Spin magazine in the late 1990s, then became both a respected TV critic and a writer on TV shows such as Legion and Cat's Cradle in the 2010s. Now he has won acclaim as the creator and showrunner of Briarpatch, his ten-episode adaptation of a classic noir thriller. I was thrilled to have Andy on the show to talk about podcasting, interviewing, running a TV show, and his newfound love of running.Links:Briarpatch on USAAndy and Chris' podcast, The Watch Andy's books: Nothing Feels Good and Miss MiseryDesert Island Picks: Tusk by Fleetwood Mac; Chinaman's Chance by Ross Thomas, Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami, Bordersnakes by James Crumley; Herr's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips; Trumer PilsnerIntro music: "Fine Line" by the BloodlettersOutro music: "When I Was Still Young" by Yard Sale

Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes award-winning author STEVE HAMILTON who is in the studio to discuss his new book DEAD MAN RUNNING. About the book: On the Mediterranean Sea, a vacationer logs on to the security-camera feed from his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Something about his living room seems not quite right--the room is bright, when he's certain he'd left the curtains closed. Rewinding through the feed, he sees an intruder. When he shifts to the bedroom camera, he sees the dead body. Martin T. Livermore is the key suspect in the abduction and murder of at least five women, but he's never been this sloppy before. When the FBI finally catches him in Scottsdale, he declares he'll only talk to one person: a retired police officer from Detroit, now a private investigator living in the tiny town of Paradise, Michigan. A man named Alex McKnight. Livermore means nothing to McKnight, but it soon becomes clear McKnight means something to Livermore...and that Livermore's capture was only the beginning of an elaborate, twisted plot with McKnight at the center. In a hunt that will take him across the country and to the edge of his limits, McKnight fights to stop a vicious killer before he can exact his ultimate revenge. And his grand finale will cut closer to home than he ever could have imagined. About my guest: Steve Hamilton is the NYT bestselling author of both the Alex McKnight series and the standalone novel The Lock Artist, currently in film development. He's one of only two authors in history (along with Ross Thomas) to win the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and an Edgar for Best Novel.

I had the very exciting surprise of being invited by Apple to a private workshop in New York. We were about a dozen creative professionals that got to spend some quality time app developers and professional photographers to learn how to get the most out of the iPhone when we shoot Fashion Week. I'm going to share what I learned with you guys. Then we talk to The Brotographer, Ross Thomas, who has been doing extensive testing of the most hyped camera of 2018, the Sony A7R III. Specifically he's been testing a lot of the autofocus features and how it performs Canon, Sigma and Tamron lenses. Special Guest: Ross Thomas.
That Stack Of Books with Nancy Pearl and Steve Scher - The House of Podcasts
Nancy Pearl, Steve Scher and Katy Sewall nibble at the Bryant Corner Cafe while talking about two books that offer different approaches to the same overarching theme- how empire builders move across the landscape into history. The first is an historical account of the American Vietnam War. Christian Appy, “American Reckoning: The Vietnam War and Our National Identity” connects our current foreign policy actions to the attitudes that were revealed during our long war against Vietnam. "The Strangler Vine" is a classically styled mystery set in the British Raj. Though lighter and more of a swashbuckler, the actions of the British colonialists are on full display. We also touched on a couple of American crime writers, Ross Macdonald and Ross Thomas. Both worth a look and worth a whole show. That is coming soon.We won't be at the Bryant Corner Cafe for a few weeks. We will be back with the live taping April 21st, 3:15. Love to see you there with books to share while we explore what books to add to our growing stack.
