Award winning authors Jeff Ayers and Jon Land team up to co-author the National Park Thriller series, the latest of which is Cold Burn. The series is driven by a federal agent, Michael Walker, who is assigned to the National Park Service to investigate crime within the parks. Walker is reeling from the loss of his wife in incident that also left him injured requiring a prosthetic limb. Walker is drawn into a series of incidents ranging from the Everglades to Glacier Bay where unexplained deaths are occurring--and Walker finds a single element might be the link between them. Can he recover from his grief and injury? Will an Indigenous People work with someone from outside their community? A fast paced thriller with a mix of international intrigue, richly drawn characters, and a plot that seems all too possible. Jeff Ayers talks about how the Michael Walker character came to him, why the series is set in the National Park system, and the process of writing with another author. There's also a surprise in the making for the third book in the series.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
