Goodreads asked Erika Mitchell:

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

Erika Mitchell When I started Take the Bai Road back in 2015, cartel violence was on the rise in Mexico. The more I researched it, the more intrigued I became by the culture and business models of the drug cartels. The story evolved out of that as I realized I could put Bai smack in the middle of a conspiracy in cartel country and then try to get him back out of it.
