Goodreads asked David Dyer:

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

David Dyer I have been fascinated by the Titanic disaster since I was a very young child, and have always known that there was a nearby ship - the 'Californian' - that could have gone to the rescue but didn't. This ship saw the Titanic's distress rockets - so why didn't she go? It puzzled me for many years, and when I began work in London at the law firm that once represented the Titanic's owners, I decided it was time to try to find out. So began my obsession and my journey - to Liverpool, to New York, to Boston, and even to mid-Atlantic, over the wreck site itself.
