| 10/12/26 | Rene Denfeld: The Talking Bone | Rene Denfeld is not only a novelist; she’s also an investigator who works on wrongful conviction cases. In her thriller, The Talking Bone, Denfeld uses her background and some of her cases to tell the story of a female investigator looking into the case of a man on death row in Georgia. And boy, did I learn a lot about what investigators can and can’t do.

| 9/21/26 | James T. Bartlett: True Crime Burbank | James T. Bartlett has been with us before. He wrote a book called The Alaskan Blonde, about a woman who was accused of murdering her husband in 1953.

| 9/14/26 | Maria DiLorenzo: Confessions of the Green River Killer | When crime journalist Maria DiLorenzo began writing to Gary Ridgway, she had no idea where it would go. He began calling her—hundreds of times. Their conversations were supposed to lead to big revelations and to clues about women who might have been victims of the Green River Killer. But Ridgway played games and DiLorenzo soon felt very uncomfortable. She tells me about her book Confessions of the Green River Killer.
