Critically acclaimed author Isabella Maldonado stepped into the Interrogation Room to answer a few questions about her new release, DEATH BLOW. Isabella retired as a police captain, served as a hostage negotiator, and ended her career as the Commander of Special Investigations and Forensics. Her Detective Veranda Cruz series has been named a Best First Book and among the Best 25 Suspense Novels of 2018. In addition to DEATH BLOW, Isabella and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discussed her years-long process and effort to learn the craft of thriller and mystery writing, how writers can use local Citizens Police Academies to research and cultivate police relationships, and why "IGMO" remains among Isabella's favorite police jargon.
