Taner asked Robert Dugoni:

Thank you for the opportunity. I wonder who/what was your inspiration when creating Tracy Crosswhite character?

Robert Dugoni Desperation! I needed a new character and Tracy was in Murder One, an earlier David Sloane novel. After writing it, I met a Seattle Homicide Detective who is very close to the fictional Tracy.
Thanks for asking

Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your books Sam Hell was a particular favorite. Any advice for an aspiring writer? (My son)

Julian asked Robert Dugoni:

Just finished In the Clearing, the third Tracy Crosswhite novel, I thought you covered small town social behavior beautifully. Did you grow up in a similar community?

Judi Ross asked Robert Dugoni:

Do you have another stand-alone in the works? LOVED Sam Hell and The World Played Chess. And all members of my book clubs did, too!
