Well what has always impressed me about Small Town Dicks is the professionalism. First you have your authenticity. You know Dan and Dave, myself we come out of real crime. We've had real experiences. And so the audience, the listeners are getting from Small Town Dicks. What actually happens out there. Not something that's been glamorized. But also you guys don't exploit the cases. You're empathetic to the victims. And this is what I'm all about. And I know that people who know me from

other projects, they will truly see that when they start listening to Small Town Dicks. That's an incredible endorsement. Dan and Dave tell the fine people about some Patreon. Where Paul Holes also joins us on quite a few nuggety nuggets. For just five bucks a month you'll have access to an assortment of bonus episodes, outtakes, listener questions, special series.

We very quickly discovered that what we thought we knew was only the tip of the iceberg. This is a very interesting story.

We thought we knew was only the tip of the iceberg. This case opened a window and out of that window we saw things we did not like to see.

Hi, I'm Yardley. This is Detective Dan. And his identical twin brother, Detective Dave. Hello. And this is Small Town Dicks.

As these dedicated men and women search for justice and crack the case.

Hi. Good morning. Good morning. Tom is in Scotland, Small Town fam. We have left the United States and left over to Europe via Zoom. Thank you, Zoom.

So Tom is an author of several books. He has a long and storied career. So I'm just going to let you take it from here. Tom.
