Malibu Burning Show Notes
Today we talked with our old friend Lee Goldberg about his bool Malibu Burning. It is the first in his
new seriues featuring arson investigators Walter Sharpe and Andrew Walker. It is published by Thomas &
Mercer and was released on September 1 of this year.
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.
TRIVIA
Last week's question was:
John Dickinson Carr is famous for writing what?
a. The most re-issued mysteries
b. Mysteries with hints given throughout the story
c. Impossible mysteries or locked room mysteries
d. First person mysteries.
The answer is c. Impossible or locked room mysteries. John Dickinson Carr is credited with writing the first
“impossible” mystery, Carr is generally regarded as one of the greatest writers of so-called "Golden Age"
mysteries; complex, plot-driven stories in which the puzzle is paramount. He was influenced in this regard by
the works of Gaston Leroux and by the Father Brown stories of G. K. Chesterton. He was a master of the so-
called locked room mystery, in which a detective solves apparently impossible crimes. The Dr. Fell
mystery The Hollow Man (1935), usually considered Carr's masterpiece, was selected in 1981 as the best
locked-room mystery of all time by a panel of 17 mystery authors and reviewers.[1] He also wrote a number of
historical mysteries.
This week's question is:
Which mystery author used the psynonym Mark Sadler, John Crowe, Carl Dekker and William Arden?
a. Dan Brown
b. John Grisham
c. Mickey Spillane
d. Michael Collins
Tune in next week for the answer.
