Why set the Cross series in Washington, DC? I’m often asked. That’s easy - it’s the most interesting city in the county to set a detective series. Not only is the seat of the national government there, but also the DEA, FBI, and CIA. It’s a fascinating place, with a diverse population and a wide range of communities, that, from a crime fiction perspective, offer an inexhaustible supply of cases. A lot can happen there—more than any place in the world.
