Profoundly happy to welcome Jess Walter on to talk about his brand new book, The Cold Millions, which you can buy starting TODAY from literally anywhere books are sold because the man is a damn phenomenon.

And while you CAN buy this book anywhere, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Wishing Tree Books for lending me their advance copy to make this review happen.When you buy this book, for the love of God, buy it from a local independent seller like [Wishing Tree](https://wishingtreebookstore.com/?searchtype=keyword&qs=the+cold+millions&qs%5Ffile=&q=h.tviewer&using%5Fsb=status&qsb=keyword&ref=rangemedia.co) or [Aunties](https://www.auntiesbooks.com/book/9780062868084?ref=rangemedia.co) or -- ideally, both. Buy one from each place and give one to a friend!
