Award-winning and best selling thriller authors Jeffery Deaver and Isabella Maldonado drop by to talk about THE GRAVE ARTIST, the second book in their collaborative “Sanchez & Heron” series.
They talk about how the idea to collaborate started (along with Gillian Flynn in the mix at the time), and how their individual approaches to thrillers blended so well, then coming up with the investigative team of Jake Heron and Carmen Sanchez, and the nature of the killers they have to hunt down.
They also talk about how they both separate and combine the work to write the books, working on the characters and the plot and subplots, balancing and filling out the outlines, then fine tuning everything through the subsequent drafts.
Isabella talks about the Thriller Writing Master Class she’ll be teaching at the 2026 Thrillerfest, May 5-9 2026 in New York City and her class in this year’s Online Thriller School, and Jeffery mentions the class he’ll be teaching through the ITW Online Thriller School in September 2026.
They will be at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale AZ, September 8 for the book launch!
The Grave Artist will be out on September 9, 2025, and we’re already looking forward to the third book in the series!
