Goodreads asked Richard Trice:

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

Richard Trice I had always been interested in the World War II POW camps located in nearby Southern Colorado, not to mention the large "melting pot" of ethnicities dating back to the old railroad and coal mining history of this area.
It seemed a great jumping off point for a modern day murder mystery that had its roots over 60 years earlier with an escape from a nearby German POW camp. I also have been trying to write something that spoke to the spiritual condition of real people in unreal situations, something I think has not often been done well in literature without becoming too "preachy."
