Edgar Award-winning and New York Times Bestselling thriller author T. Jefferson Parker stops by to talk about The Last Good Guy, the third and newest novel in his Roland Ford private investigator series.

Jeff talks about why the detective genre fascinates him so much, about finding the hooks in the stories that he wants to tell, doing research on the technology and services that a current day private investigator might use to do their digital legwork, the appeal of short stories, and more.

And the episode of “The Rockford Files” mentioned is a two-parter that closes out Season 4, “The House on Willis Avenue”, written by Stephen J. Cannell (original airdate Feb 24, 1978).
