#16: Assault Rifles & Pedophiles: An American Love Story

AR&P is Brian Krans' third novel. In this podcast, he talks about how his experiences working in retail and newspapers blend together to create what's been called a "masterfully developed plot with more unexpected twists than a Quentin Tarantino movie."

The book follows a cops and courts reporter who gets exclusive access to the trendy celebrity suicides as the world hangs on the brink of mass extinction.

You can read the first chapter of the book on Goodreads, order a physical copy from Rock Town (or a poster or a hat), or get a digital version from Amazon
