I really love Thomas McGuane. His 92 In The Shade is an overlooked crime novel in the UK, and Thomas is much more famous in his native USA. I've found a way to include this bonus episode here on Mystery and Intrigue but it's from a year ago when I was still learning how to podcast, and it was originally part of my rare books show. So don't worry too much if people start sniffing the pages! You can find out more at www.crimespies.com.

This episode started life in my Citizen Detective podcast which I have now incorporated here. Each season we will alternate between crime and spies, and sometimes we might mix the two. But the theme is mystery and intrigue in all its forms. I am open to new ideas for titles: how does "Mystery and Intrigue" sound?!

The book reviewed in this bonus episode is Mindhunter by John Douglas. It is now also a show on Netflix.
