M.J. Payne asked E.Michael Helms:

I haven't read any Hardy Boys books, but they obviously inspired you. What inspired you to create "Dinger P.I." the dark noir character you have been experimenting with lately?

M.J. Payne asked E.Michael Helms:

I also love old noir. I found a movie on Netflix called "Laura" and have watched it about six times partly because of the narcissist Clifton Webb plays and his interesting dialogue and delivery. I also love the P.I. in it and how he pronounces words. Have you ever seen the movie? If so did you like the scene where he shines the light into Gene Tierney's eyes? Could you see Dinger do something like that?
