Rafe McGregorThis is episode 33 of the CrimeWAV: we go overseas for Rafe McGregor's "Blue Mail."

Yes. And because the number 33 is special, I'd like to dedicate this episode to old Larry Bird, who was looking terrible at this week's NCAA championship game. Here's to feeling OK when you wake up in the morning, Larry.

Rafe McGregor worked in law enforcement for eleven years before becoming a crime fiction author.  He writes both historical and hardboiled mysteries, and enjoys reading Philip Marlowe as much as Sherlock Holmes. 

His first novel, The Architect of Murder, was published in February: twenty thousand war dead, the will of the wealthiest man in the Empire, the coronation of Edward VII, and a hero with post traumatic stress disorder… murder and mayhem on the mean streets of 1902 Westminster. Awesome!!
