I’m crazy about Lee Goldberg, a delightful New York Times #1 bestselling author. His books are always a JOY to read. They are fast paced, clever, suspenseful, and funny. One reviewer described him as endearing. Which is just perfect. He really is such a dear sweet man.
MALIBU BURNING is the first in his new Sharpe & Walker series. Like all of his books, it is a great read. No one does Southern California justice like he does.
It’s always fun to talk to him. Just think, he had his first bestseller when he was just 18-years old; And it was made into a movie! Now, that’s impressive.
That book got his toe into Hollywood and he’s been making a big splash ever since. He’s written and/or produced some of the most popular TV shows: Diagnosis Murder, SeaQuest, Monk, and Murder 101 for Hallmark. Re-run should be his middle name. Ir at least his dog. Cha-ching!
Next time he is on the program I will ask him to give us some good old-fashioned Hollywood gossip.
His wife should write a book: The Joy of Lee Goldberg’s Wit and Wisdom. She’s one lucky woman.
Do get give yourself a treat and get this book. It’s a winner.
About the book:
Hell comes to Southern California every October. It rides in on searing Santa Ana winds that blast at near hurricane force, igniting voracious wildfires. Master thief Danny Cole longs for the flames. A tsunami of fire is exactly what he needs to pull off a daring crime and avenge a fallen friend.
As the most devastating firestorms in Los Angeles’ history scorch the hills of Malibu, relentless arson investigator Walter Sharpe and his wild card of a new partner, Andrew Walker, a former US marshal, suspect that someone set the massive blazes intentionally, a terrifying means to an unknown end.
While the flames rage out of control, Danny pursues his brilliant scheme, unaware that Sharpe and Walker are closing in. But when they all collide in a canyon of fire, everything changes, pitting them against an unexpected enemy within an inescapable inferno.
