Jenny's Hot Takes : Episode 25 : "The Heistmen" by Andrew Brown

Loading player...
Author Andrew Brown says he used his latest thriller to show how likeability and circumstance can shape the way we perceive law enforcement and the so-called "baddies" they pursue.

His crime novel "The Heistmen" has been nominated for the Sunday Times Literary Awards in partnership with Exclusive Books.
