Being interviewed at KPHO-TV. Jim is very good at talking. He is also very good at eating and napping.
 

“24/7 will keep you up 24/7. Jim Brown’s debut, a nightmarish twist on reality TV, is a finger-burning page-turner that you won’t be able to put down. The tribe has spoken: 24/7 is a winner.”
– Harlan Coben
