Goodreads asked Ed Ireland:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Ed Ireland Wow...really good question. OK, when my grandfather came over from Sicily, he settled in the Chicago area and got a job running whiskey from Canada into the states. He actually worked for Al Capone.
Then, with no explanation ever given to anybody, he moved to Philadelphia. I've always wondered about that. I guess that's the mystery and it could certainly be turned into a great plot.
