Gary asked Robert Wilson:

Is there any chance that Falcon could return? I enjoyed the books, immensely, and would be extremely happy if another came out.

Robert Wilson Thanks for wriitng to me and for expressing your enjoyment of the books. When I wrote the Falcon novels the story arc that came to me was of Javier's psychological development from paralyzed man to one capable of falling in love. I reckoned I needed 4 books to complete the arc. The first to break him down, the second to rebuild him, the third to mature him and the fourth to make him into a lover. After seven years work I finished the books and I didn't want to do any more for several reasons. The first being that I had completed the work and didn't want to just keep telling crime stories with Javier as the protagonist but psychologically standing still. I'd also had enough of writing Spanish police procedurals and all the complexities involved. I wanted pastures new. That does not mean to say I will never write another Falcon, but it means it will have to wait for the right moment. I am contracted to write another three Charles Boxer books which will take me to 2017. Then I'll take stock. Thanks and all the very best, Rob
