The 1935–1940 plaque has been removed, recently, and each of the other plaques painstakingly moved into the place of its predecessor.
The idea for what became West Heart Kill was born when, on a whim, I wrote the dust jacket copy for a book that did not yet exist. The only specific clue I had then was that the unnamed detective would discover, in the lodge on a wall full of plaques marking club presidents, that one of them was missing. Why? I had no idea! In some sense, I wrote the book just to answer that question for myself. It doesn’t hurt sometimes, I think, to let the tail wag the dog in terms of writing.
