Goodreads asked Rod Collins:

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

Rod Collins I wanted to build a story or part of a story around retired Portland Police Bureau Detective Dell BeBe, a fictional character from the earlier Bud Blair books. Two newspaper articles triggered the notion/plot for the story "Not Before Midnight." The first article was about human trafficking; the second was about gang activity in a remote, sparsely populated part of Oregon's High Desert country, an unlikely place for a gang war.

This book will be #5 in my Sheriff Bud Blair series, and should be out in time for Christmas shopping.
