I see the Tinsley/Vaughn dynamic being in the thriller tradition of Hannibal Lecter/Will Graham or Clarice Starling, among others. Wonderful! Tinsley speaks the words that end up as the title of this book. How did you find that title. Did you have the phrase in mind, then worked it into the dialogue? Or did you choose this phrase--The Short Drop--out of the 100K+ words you wrote? Kudos, btw, on a successful 1st book!
