The Third Man. I’d go to the cemetery, watch the girl walk past me, and light a cigarette.

The idea for 'The Killings' came to me about five years ago. It was about a series of sudden killings of high level people, mixed in with police jurisdictional issues. This was before cop jurisdiction conflicts became a more common source of dramatic story conflict. I wrote it as a screenplay, then as a TV series, and finally it found its right form in a fast-paced novel. Going against the current trend of thriller heroes, I wanted the hero to be a thoughtful, uncertain character. I gradually discovered his personal conflicts were thematically related to the main plot conflicts.

I've been writing from the age of 7. My first thriller episode was read out in school, to complete class interest. I have never stopped reading and writing.
