Off-Ramp host John Rabe writes: What a pleasure to meet and interview William Link here at the Mohn Broadcast Center last week. Link, with his lifelong friend, the late Richard Levinson, created not only "Columbo," but "Mannix," "Murder, She Wrote," "McCloud," and "Ellery Queen."
Link has long written short stories for various magazines, and is now out with a book of Columbo stories in The Columbo Collection. COME INSIDE to get a copy (and help KPCC), find out where you can meet Link in person, and see Link and Falk as Columbo together.
