What happens when a crime writer doesn’t know who the killer is… until the very end?

In this episode of Plot Twist Radio, I sit down with Gregory Sallee, author, veteran, and crime fiction writer, to explore the dark, fascinating world where true crime and storytelling collide.

Drawing from his background in law enforcement training and his love of thrillers, Gregory creates suspenseful, psychological mysteries that keep readers guessing—including himself. We dive into his unique writing process, why cold cases hold such powerful emotional weight, and how obsession plays a role in both investigators and storytellers.

We also tackle a bigger question: do true crime podcasts actually help bring justice… or can they cross a line?

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Gregory writes crime fiction without knowing the killer
• The psychology behind criminal behavior—and why it fascinates us
• Cold cases and the emotional pull they carry
• The fine line between justice and entertainment in true crime media
• How to build tension that keeps readers turning pages
• His upcoming book The Ghost in His Eyes

If you love true crime, psychological thrillers, and stories that keep you questioning everything—you won’t want to miss this one.
