About this episode

On this special episode, Kill List host Carl Miller sits down for an in-depth conversation with best-selling crime novelist James Patterson, whose long-running Alex Cross book series is the inspiration for the new Amazon Prime series Cross. They’ll discuss where Patterson gets his inspiration, and draw parallels between the challenges Carl faced investigating Kill List, and the obstacles Patterson’s famous fictional detective goes up against when trying to catch his villains. Patterson’s latest Cross novel, The House of Cross, hits shelves this month.
