Scott Phillips may be the most acclaimed novelist living in St. Louis today. Best known as the author of “The Ice Harvest,” he’s won the California Book Award and been a finalist for the Edgar Award and the Hammett Prize. His latest novel, “That Left Turn At Albuquerque,” finds Phillips in familiar territory, with a crime caper, a cast of amoral characters and plenty of dark humor. In this segment he joins us to discuss the book and much, much more. A native of Wichita, Kansas, Phillips lived in Paris and Los Angeles before settling in St. Louis. He is also one of the co-founders of St. Louis’ Noir at the Bar chapter, which has become a must-visit for traveling crime authors and also paved the way for similar groups across the U.S.
