Goodreads asked Ward Howarth:

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

Ward Howarth I've always been fascinated by the WWII era. My maternal grandfather did time as a GI, fighting in Africa and Italy. Later in life, he shared many of the experiences with me and it was clear that he had never truly recovered from combat. When he passed, I was so moved by his life that I had to find a way to honor it. And, I was just discovering crime fiction, so there was inspiration for my novel on two fronts.
