Goodreads asked Tracy Clark:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Tracy Clark For my debut novel, BROKEN PLACES, the bodies of a priest and gangbanger are found in an empty church. I got the idea for the location while actually sitting in a church. While sitting in the pew, daydreaming, my eyes wandered toward the confessional, and I asked myself, what if someone found a body in there? Then I glanced toward the altar steps. Two bodies, I thought. One in the confessional, one on the steps ... in a pool of blood. I was off and running at that point.
