Lee Goldberg, author of Malibu Burning and Dream Town

TVC 637.5: Ed welcomes back New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award-nominated writer and producer Lee Goldberg (Spenser: For Hire, Monk, Sliders, Diagnosis Murder). Lee’s latest crime novels include Dream Town, the latest edition of the Eve Ronin mystery series, and Malibu Burning, a “dual track” novel about a con artist who uses a massive fire to masquerade an audacious heist and the arson investigators who stumble onto that heist. Topics this segment include how Walter Sharpe, one of the heroes in Malibu Burning, is a cross between Walter Matthau and Lieutenant Columbo; why research and authenticity are very important to all of Lee’s books; and the need to have emotional stakes when creating villains for novels and TV shows.
