Goodreads asked Mark Stretch:

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

Mark Stretch The Laundrymen came about after a chance meeting with someone who was actually in charge of security for one of the major banks. She seemed quite young to have such an important job .. and my imagination kicked in!

The idea of using an antiques business as a mechanism for laundering the money came from the fact that my parents were antique dealers for a while and I had to do my bit during the school holidays, so I learnt a bit about the business.
