“Marko Zorn is not your usual detective,” notes Otho Eskin, author of Head Shot (Oceanview), the second entry in his Marko Zorn series that began with The Reflecting Pool. USA Today bestselling author Jon Land would have to agree. Land observes that thrillers typically feature heroes who work either completely inside the system (Michael Connelly‘s Harry Bosch) or completely outside of it (Lee Child‘s Jack Reacher), but Ekin has penned “Marko Zorn as both an insider and an outsider!” It’s a unique choice that Land, who has read almost every thriller, admits he’s never seen before.
Here, Eskin and Land dive into the evolution of this intriguing thriller hero, touching on Eskin’s growing confidence in his writing, his beautifully choreographed action sequences and the future of the series Land has declared “Washington Noir.”
