Author Rick Reed discusses his Jack Murphy thriller series. In the latest installment, The Fiercest Enemy (#9), a chilling discovery in the underground mines of rural Indiana sends Det. Jack Murphy searching for the truth on behalf of the victims. In writing this series, Rick draws from his own background as a detective with more than 30 years in law enforcement. His main character is based on several detectives he has known over the years, and the books’ supporting casts are amalgamations of real people.
