Posted on March 13, 2008

Novelist David Levien discusses his latest suspense novel, City of the Sun, with the Wall Street Journal's Bob Hughes in the video below. USA Today says the book "radiates anguish" - it deals with a child who disappears while running his paper delivery route.

Levien also discusses his transition from screenwriter to novelist. Levien was the co-screenwriter of Ocean's Thirteen and Runaway Jury. Levien would like to see the book made into the film but he admits the film will have to be pared down compared to the book. Levien says he is is playing another crime novel with PI Frank Behr.
