Turning the Tables; Emmy-Winning Investigative Reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan interrogates Jan Burke.

Bio Jan Burke:

Jan Burke is a critically acclaimed and national bestselling author of fourteen books—twelve of crime fiction, a supernatural thriller, and a collection of short stories. She won one of crime fiction's top honors, the Edgar® Award for Best Novel, for Bones.

Jan was born in Texas, but has lived in Southern California most of her life, often in coastal cities—several of which combine to make up fictional Las Piernas, where her series character, reporter Irene Kelly, works and lives.

She attended California State University, Long Beach, and graduated with a degree in history.

She wrote her first book, Goodnight, Irene, in evenings after work and submitted it unsolicited to Simon and Schuster, which published it in 1993. This distinguished house has published her novels since that time.

The Story Blender is hosted by Suspense Radio Network and hosted by author Steven James.

Steven James is a critically acclaimed novelist and author of more than thirty books of fiction and nonfiction. He has a Master's Degree in Storytelling, serves as a contributing editor for Writer's Digest Magazine, and has taught writing and creative storytelling around the world. Publishers Weekly calls him " master storyteller at the peak of his game." His thriller, The Bishop, was Suspense Magazine's Book of the Year.

When he's not traveling and speaking he likes watching science fiction movies, trail running, and eating chicken fajitas—although not necessarily all at the same time.

The questions become murkier when a second body is found. Is there a serial killer stalking promiscuous young women in South Lake Tahoe? Or are the murders linked to a different criminal agenda?

Searching for answers, Reno is accosted by a gang of racist bikers with a score to settle. He also must deal with his pal, Cody Gibbons, who the police consider a suspect. The clues lead to the owner of a strip club and a womanizing police captain, but is either the killer?

The bikers up the ante, but are unaware that Cody Gibbons has Reno's back at any cost. Meanwhile, the police won't tolerate Reno's continued involvement in the case. But Reno knows he's getting close. And the most critical clue comes from the last person he'd suspect…
