Colin Marshall talks with Tod Goldberg, author of such novels as Fake Liar Cheat and Living Dead Girl and several books based on the television series Burn Notice. His latest novel Gangsterland sends a ruthless Chicago mafia hitman out into the Jewish community of suburban Las Vegas, where he must start a new life under a new identity — the identity of a rabbi.
