Goodreads asked Lorel Clayton:

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

Lorel Clayton For Eva Thorne Book 3, which is coming out soon, it was mostly a continuation of an overall story arc we have in mind, but the plot within the book was loosely inspired by The Maltese Falcon. I was interested in an object that everyone wanted, that people would kill, die and betray for. The object isn't as significant as how people respond differently to it.
