081: The Skies Belong To Us And The New Yorker's "A Cold Case"

First-time guest Alex Segura joints me to talk about The Skies Belong To Us, a page-turner that made a bunch of 2013's best-of lists -- and with good reason, as each of us only needed a day to finish it. But it did leave us wanting more of some subjects, and not necessarily in a pleasing way.

Later, we go back even further in time with a New Yorker piece from 2000 on the crimes and disappearance of Frank Koehler, one that satisfies two competing readerly desires: to see someone walk away from a "perfect" crime; and to see justice done.

SHOW NOTES

• The The Skies Belong To Us website, which might do in a pinch if you didn't read the book (yet; spoiler: you should, it's good!)
• "A Cold Case" in The New Yorker
• Where my click-slide into mid-century boxing lingo began
• Rosenzweig's bookstore, Book 'Em, is still there; get the car!
• And bring one of Alex's books for the road
