Goodreads asked G.S. Locke:

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

G.S. Locke It was a combination of factors. I'm always interested in characters who are put under immense pressure right from the start. For my main protagonist to lose his wife to a serial killer in an investigation he was heading up seemed pretty extreme. I'm a massive fan of art in all its forms, including 'Neon' so the two aspects combined rather easily. As for Iris, my hit woman, she came to me fully formed. As you can tell if you read the novel, I have a soft spot for her. I think three core characters in any novel makes for a rounded story.
