Mark Harmon and Leon Carroll Jr. visit "The Talk" and dish on their second novel, Ghosts of Panama. On what inspired them to tell these stories, Harmon shares, "Leon was my guy for 20 years, we worked together, technical advisor, there wasn't a day that went by that I didn't ask him a question...and I just paid attention to him and so we finally had a chance, at some point they asked me if I would be interested in writing a book on the show [NCIS]..I said, no I'm not interested in that, but I would be interested in telling the story of this agency. It's all him [Leon], because in some ways, it's not a payback, but it's saying thank you. To be able to be spending 20 years with someone like this...it just made a lot of sense. I don't think either one of us thought about ever being writers, right. But the first book did really well, now this is our second, there could be a third or a fourth, there's a lot of stories. We're proud of both of them for different reasons."
