David Morrell: The climax to Murder as a Fine Art - RULER OF THE NIGHT - Live

David Morrell is the award-winning author of First Blood, the novel in which Rambo was created,  a ground-breaking novel about a returned Vietnam veteran suffering from post-trauma stress disorder who comes into conflict with a small-town police chief and fights his own version of the Vietnam War.  Morrell is the author of more than thirty books, including such high-action thrillers as The Naked Edge, Creepers, and The Spy Who Came for Christmas . Always interested in different ways to tell a story, he wrote the six-part comic-book series, Captain America: The Chosen, the two-part comic-book series, Spider-Man: Frost, and the standalone comic book, Savage Wolverine:Feral. His writing book, The Successful Novelist, analyzes what he has learned during his four decades as an author. Morrell’s latest novels, Murder as a Fine Art and Inspector of the Dead, are Victorian mystery/thrillers that explore the fascinating world of 1850s London. Based on years of research, they attempt to make readers believe they are truly on those harrowing, fogbound streets. Both novels feature a controversial, brilliant literary figure of the era, Thomas De Quincey, who wrote the sensational memoir, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, and invented the true-crime genre in his equally sensational essay, “Postscript: On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts.” "Ruler of the Night" is the climax to Murder as a Fine Art.
