Goodreads asked Mike Sutton:

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

Mike Sutton The idea for "The Immaculate Infection," came from three old cold murder cases in upstate New York and recent current events in the Middle East.

Between November 16, 1971, and November 26, 1973, the murder of three girls—Carmen Colón (age 10), Wanda Walkowicz (age 11), and Michelle Maenza (age 11) took place in the Rochester, New York, area. Known as the Double Initial Murders and Alphabet Murders, each body was recovered in a town or village with a name beginning with the same letter as the victim's initials. These cases are still unsolved as of this writing.
