The Hey, this is Trey.

Thank you for joining us for a Tuesday edition of our podcast,

and it is another treat, two of the most successful people in the world,

sort of in their own realms, and then they kind of combine forces in a new realm, or shall I say a different realm, sort of.

You know, some partnerships between very successful people do not work.

I am reminded of the Rider Cup where Tiger Woods and Phil Mikkelson partnered and the results are not great.

And then there are the times when it clicks like when Bono sang a duet with Pavarotti.

That clicked and these two guys clicked.

James Patterson, Mike Lubica, decided to write books together

even though they were fabulously successful on their own, their collaboration has things that I like,

courtroom drama, cops, prosecutors, defense attorneys with flawless records.

I probably don't like that one quite as much as they do, but criminal

investigation. It has in the words of one and maybe both of the authors, the whole kitchen

sink, which I'm going to ask them about that, including a

terminal diagnosis for a defense attorney, and they both have their own books out.

For those of you like me who have not read three books in your life, see if you can get your head around the fact that they each have their own book out and they have a collaboration out.

Welcome, James Patterson, Mike Lubica. Thank you for being here.

Thank you. Just in time for the holidays when people buy all those books. So good.

What I can tell, people buy y'all's books pretty much year round so but you are right it is the holidays and then we got the new year which people

You want a good New Year's habit reading is a great one. I'm going to do this in reverse. Can you tell me, Mr.

Patterson, give me the theme, the outline of Mr. Lupeka's latest book and then I'm

going to get him to do the same with yours.
