2021/08/06

After crafting 14 New York Times bestsellers centering around his swashbuckling and James Bond-like Alex Hawke character, one might think Ted Bell was satisfied with his epic life’s body of work and is perhaps ready for retirement.

My guest today is thriller writer May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives.
