No city is producing better crime fiction right now than Chicago. I don’t want to think too hard about why that is. Gillian Flynn, Kevin Guilfoile, the list goes on. 

Marcus Sakey may be the most prolific of the bunch, and he’s certainly one of the most talented. His new book, The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes, is about a guy who has lost his memory, lost his wife (whom he, of course, doesn’t remember) … and thinks he himself may be her killer. It’s a premise that, as they say, grabs you from Page One.

Sadly, it’s set in Los Angeles, not Chicago.  

But the book’s good enough to forgive Marcus for that. He recently stopped by The Interview Show to talk about writing, his upcoming TV show and more. Video of the interview is below.

Plus: If you buy the book today at Borders, they will throw in a light fixture.
