Goodreads asked Michael Nest:

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

Michael Nest My most recent book is 'Cold Case North: the search for James Brady and Absolom Halkett'. I was invited into this project by my co-author Deanna Reder, who is a Prof. of Indigenous Studies and has a family connection to this missing persons case. At first we didn't know if our research was going to be a book; we just wanted to find out what happened to the two missing men. However, as we started researching and discovered unexpected twists and turns, and a host of fascinating people connected to the disappearance, writing a book seemed like a great way to tell people about what amazing people Brady and Halkett were, as well as share the experience of researching the case.
