Goodreads asked Hugh Greene:

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

Hugh Greene The Fire of Love, the second in the Power/Lynch series is about the overwhelming nature of intense love. There is a rare condition in psychiatry called de Clerambault's syndrome. This condition is also called erotomania and can be a kind of delusional love that is usually projected by one person on an unattainable object - usually where there si a power imbalance. The love is not reciprocated, but the deluded person believes, without any objective evidence, that their object of their love loves them back. It;'s a sad condition and sometimes frightening if you are the object of this overwhelming and unwanted attention.
