Goodreads asked Del Quentin Wilber:

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

Del Quentin Wilber I have always been fascinated by police work and wanted to see how homicide detectives do their jobs. I got lucky that the chief of the Prince George's County police force was the son of a Secret Service agent in my first book, "Rawhide Down." We corresponded and then allowed me to trail his detectives for five or six months. I have covered crime and murder for years, but this was one of the most eye-opening and surprising experiences of my professional life.
