Reed Farrel Coleman is one of those authors I hope to see succeed in a big way. His Moe Prager mystery series is (IMHO) brilliant. Each story builds on what came before it, while Prager and his relationship with his wife (who starts out the series as his girlfriend) goes through changes, too. It all leads up to a shattering development that culminates in a cliff-hanger scene at the end of the first book, WALKING THE PERFECT SQUARE.
While this short interview with Coleman focuses on SOUL PATCH, which was nominated for the Edgar, it also tells you a little bit about him. Though it didn't end up winning, as Coleman says it truly is an honor just to be nominated. Besides, he won a bunch of awards for his previous effort, THE JAMES DEANS. Plus in his latest Prager novel, EMPTY EVER AFTER, the story arc appears to finally reach that shattering cliff-hanger I mentioned. Having read and enjoyed the entire series so far, this latest book gets a spot high up on my TBR list.
