Get an exclusive peek into his new novel, "The Viking Funeral," which uncovers a real-world "parallel market" scheme used by drug cartels to launder money. Cannell also shares the story of his "dead" best friend suddenly appearing alive in his latest book, prompting an investigation into rogue cops. Plus, hear about his unexpected acting roles, from his scene in a Steven Seagal movie to the time he had to play a female used car dealer.
