Hey, Jim, you're looking R&R, if I might use that term.

Hello and welcome to best case, worst case.

This is Jim Clemente, retired FBI profiler, former New York City prosecutor and writer-producer

of criminal minds and Bluebeard on Audible. And with me today is the lovely.

Hi, everybody.

It's Francie Hakes, former state and federal prosecutor.

Jim, we've had a little hiatus, a little R&R, a little vacay, if you will.

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling pretty good.

Definitely got to relax a little bit,

get away and not think about too many work-related things. Okay, not that this is work. This is

such a passion project. But we wanted to actually, I don't know, manipulate the timing a little bit
