A great editor can identify plot holes and missing motivation, help make readers care more about characters, and much more. For Crime Reads, novelist Otho Eskin tells the story of his editor, the late Richard Marek, who helped bring more than 300 books into the world, including Ernest Hemingway’s "A Moveable Feast," James Baldwin’s "If Beale Street Could Talk" and Thomas Harris’s "The Silence of the Lambs."
