Goodreads asked L.F. Robertson:

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

L.F. Robertson Two Lost Boys arose out of my experiences working on death penalty cases, specifically habeas corpus proceedings, where you investigate cases looking for evidence that didn't get presented at your client's trial and that might have made a difference in how the jury viewed your client. It's a slow and not at all linear process; and many capital defendants have horrible childhood experiences and family backgrounds. Investigation opens windows into those experiences, and you meet people who were there with your client, as perpetrators, witnesses, or fellow victims, and see the damage that life has done to them. I wanted to capture that reality, that sadness, and how it feels to work a case in real life.
