Hope you don't mind us crashing your summer reading list, but we've got two hot ones for you. Chelsea Cain, who's publishing a new novel, One Kick, in August, schools us on surviving summer thrillers.
And we hear from the author of one of the summer's breakout titles, Smith Henderson. His novel, Fourth of July Creek takes on difficult aspects of anti-government obsession, and violence against children. Henderson, who now works at Wieden+Kennedy, talks about an earlier stint in child protective services, and how those experiences laid groundwork for the book.
