Summary : Mystery: Crime & Punishment (2009): Los Angeles Times Festival of Books

The Los Angeles Times Festival of Books began in 1996 with a simple goal: to bring together the people who create books with the people who love to read them. The festival was an immediate success and has become the largest and most prestigious book festival in the country, attracting more than 130,000 book lovers each year.
Gary Phillips is the co-editor of the well-received Cocaine Chronicles anthology on criminal behavior and has a short story in the recent Dublin Noir collection called The Man for the Job.
