Goodreads asked James Scott Byrnside:

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

James Scott Byrnside I had written a play about twenty years ago. I came upon it and reread it. It wasn't very good, but I loved the setting (the Mississippi Flood of 1927) and I thought it would be a great place for a murder and a detective.
