Tad S. Torm
Mysteries: Fiction and Reality
I happened to live through such a mystery; except it's more like a Columbo mystery: the kind where you know WHO DONE IT; in my case, who's been doing it.
A few years ago, I had a minor character in one of my books, a recent Russian immigrant by the name of Igor. The friends of Igor did not appreciate this fictional character and decided to destroy my best-seller, THE MIDTOWN MURDER (It took them about six months, and most likely the help of an inside friend.) Can I prove it? It would not be hard. So far, I was too lazy to respond, and I didn't want to make a fuss about it. However, people are apt to change, especially when they lose money and recognition.
The third book in the Detective Ben Saga will be influenced by this experience, and will deal with the darker side of the e-book industry.
