Goodreads asked Michael Murphy:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Michael Murphy I've always been a fan of classic mystery novels, particularly Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. I also like classic films, and one of my favorite actors is William Powell. He and Myrna Loy made 14 movies together. Their interaction and my classic mystery interest inspired me to create my Jake and Laura Prohibition-era series, with mystery, suspense, humor and two characters very much in love.
