It's a lot more complex, with more turns than a Formula One race track. This story is a collaboration between authors J.A. Konrath ("Whiskey Sour", "Dirty Martini") and Ann Voss Peterson ("A Brother's Brand of Justice", "Wyoming Manhunt"). The pair have also co-written "Flee"; the first installment in The Chandler Series.  The first chapter is included with "Wild Night is Calling" as a teaser to the spy series that opens with a bang, and accelerates from there."Wild Night is Calling" features Peterson's deep dive into emotions, and Konrath's signature ability to twist a plot like a pretzel.  The devil is in the details, and both the main story and the "Flee" preview prove that the pair of authors have done their homework.  The Chandler Series is certain to captivate and entertain.
