And this guest is definitely news."

Phillips has written short stories for Moonstone’s Kolchak: The Night Stalker Casebook, the Avenger Chronicles and the Green
Hornet Casefiles. His most
current novel is Warlord of Willow Ridge

“Phillips is a veteran crime novelist who creates a plausible postapocalyptic
scenario in which the safety of middle-class America can dissolve in a moment.
Exciting, violent, and entertaining.”

Parker tribute book, In Pursuit of Spenser and for The Wire: Race, Class, and Genre, as well is the creator behind the popular detective character Nate Hollis, first seen at Vertigo and most recently in the Moonstone collection Angeltown.
