Reed talks with Robert Swartwood

Bestselling author Reed Farrel Coleman doesn’t just write crime fiction, he immortalizes it. In “Sleepless City,�� the first book in his new Nick Ryan series, Coleman introduces a haunted, Brooklyn-born cop who works in the shadows of the city that never sleeps. In this candid interview, Coleman talks about the real life tragedies that influenced “Sleepless City�� and why he loves his crime fiction fans.

Reed Farrel Coleman is one of my all time favorite writers. It had been awhile since he had a book out, but he came back with a vengeance and new direction with Sleepless City. The book injects Reed’s lyrical prose style, emotional mediations, and Lou Reed take on New York into the Jack Reacher style hero novel with Nick Ryan as cop who works as a special fixer for the city’s mayor office. Reed was kind enough to take some time to discuss the character and changes in his fiction.

Reed had an excellent conversation with Michael Wiley from Authors on the Air

Coleman knows New York City. He knows suspense. He knows the power of a juicy twist. And his stories have a deep, character-driven undertow.

Reed did a fascinating Q&A with John Valeri at Criminal Element

Songs in the key of sleep, New York City, and Nick Ryan.
