    More Author Interviews…
    Arthur Conan Doyle
    Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labour, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.
    Arthur Conan Doyle, The Red Headed League

    Raymond Chandler
    Dead men are heavier than broken hearts.
    Raymond Chandler, The Big Sleep
