Todd Moss is a Pittsford graduate who went to work for the State Department in African affairs. Now he's writing thrillers set in Africa, and he's quickly rising in the ranks of the genre.
His second book is Minute Zero, a work of fiction that offers a kind of alternate ending to the bizarre and brutal electoral disaster that unfolded in Zimbabwe in 2008.
We talk to him about the book, the pressures of churning out popular thrillers, and the parallels to real life that we find in his work.
