Goodreads asked Jim Nesbitt:

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

Jim Nesbitt I've always thought hard-boiled detective novels an American art form. At their best, they're more than who-dun-its or thrillers, they're vehicles for a writer's observations about culture, politics, philosophy, music, history and a time or a place. Or both. When you write, you start with what you know. And I knew a little something about the border, Texas and Mexico and I knew I wanted to write a noirish detective novel. So I started with that and went from there.
