Otto Penzler, editor, publisher, and founder of The Mysterious Bookshop, reflects on his longtime friendship with Dutch. He shares stories while showing rare signed editions—Unknown Man No. 89, Glitz, LaBrava—and Dutch’s personal notebooks filled with scraps of dialogue and everyday detail.
The video captures the ease and humor of their relationship, including how Dutch used Penzler’s name for a character in Comfort to the Enemy and Up in Honey’s Room.
This video is a brief but vivid portrait of creative friendship, shared history, and the lasting connection between two key figures in crime fiction.
