Brad Meltzer

When you read a Brad Meltzer novel, the author tells us, he's not looking to give readers a passive experience.  The author of twelve bestselling thrillers is playing a game with you, and he’s going to give you just enough clues to make sure you know he’s playing fair.  But make no mistake: he’s playing to win.  Brad Meltzer joins us on this episode to talk about Houdini, history, misdirection, the hero who inspired his latest, The Escape Artist — and, yes, his award-winning work in the world of comics, too.
