The Shield

New Season: "K-Ville"

September 12, 2007

Premieres Monday on Fox

Anthony Anderson
I've got a list of books to write sometime. My long-unfinished mystery novel, "Death Wore a Name Tag." A trilogy about a journalist in deep space. (I'm intrigued by the idea of an instant-news mentality facing the time lag that would come with space exploration.) There used to be one called [...]
