Goodreads asked Sean Deffely:

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

Sean Deffely I read a lot of detective stories, my two favorite authors are Agatha Christie and Ellery Queen. I also read Colin Dexter, I’m a huge Inspector Morse fan. I also like Laurence Block’s Matt Scudder books, as well as the Spenser and Jesse Stone books by Robert B. Parker. The idea for the book has been kicking around in my head for a while, I’m not sure exactly where it came from. I just finally decided to fore myself to write it.
