Goodreads asked Troy Ford:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Troy Ford The death of my school friend in 2003 was the inspiration for my debut novel "Lamb" - the circumstances of his death follow pretty closely the actual events, from the announcement from our school in 2003 (he was only 33) with no further information, to my finally discovering the cause nearly 20 years. Although it draws inspiration from my own life and our school days, the main character Lamb himself is a complete fiction that grew out of the mystery of my not knowing, and not having any contact with my friend since high school.
