He is also the author of the Charles Jenkins espionage series, the David Sloane legal thriller series, and several stand-alone novels including The 7th Canon, Damage Control, The World Played Chess, and Her Deadly Game. His novel The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell received Suspense Magazine’s 2018 Book of the Year, and Dugoni’s narration won an AudioFile Earphones Award. The Washington Post named his nonfiction exposé The Cyanide Canary a Best Book of the Year.

Dugoni's new novel is Her Cold Justice, the first Keera Duggan title.

Here the author dreamcast an adaptation of the new novel:

I actually had two actresses in mind to play Keera Duggan when I wrote the first book. Caitriona Balfe, who is Irish-born and is great at playing actors torn between family loyalty and personal demons, both of which are in this series in spades. The other is Claire Foy who often plays smart characters with complicated lives. She also looks like how I imagined Keera Duggan.

I would love to see Idris Elbe play JP. His English accent would be perfect, he is the right age and he is brilliant.

And for Patsy Duggan I thought of Albert Finney when I wrote the book, but alas he is gone. Then I saw Brenden Gleeson in an Irish movie and thought, perfect. The two others who would be fantastic are Ray Winston or Kenneth Cranham. Gleeson and Winston have the physiques to be former boxers, as Patsy was when he was younger. All of them have that burning interior which Patsy displays in the courtroom. Smart and tough as nails.
