Goodreads asked Phyllis Anne Duncan (P. A. Duncan):

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Phyllis Anne Duncan (P. A. Duncan) It would be a family mystery, because it affected my life through my father. He came from a well-off family, but in the 1940s the family lawyer was caught embezzling money. The morning before his trial, he killed himself in the empty courtroom, leaving no indication where he'd stashed all the money he'd stolen. My father's oldest brother hired investigator after investigator to try and locate the family money, and nothing ever turned up. A real story of taking a secret to the grave.
