Phetra Novak asked Rob Damon:

Where from did you get your idea for Hit Man Run? What made you write it?

Rob Damon Oh Phetra! That is a question. I have often wondered where I got this idea and have narrowed it down to a drinking session I had with a friend in London once. During our conversation one night, he told me of a friend of his who had died of a drug overdose in his flat while he was partying with two escorts. After finding him collapsed in the bathroom, the escorts called for an ambulance and had to give police statements.
Anyway, afterwards I was mulling over the scenario, thinking about what would have happened if the escorts had just left the guy. How long would he have lay dead in his flat before being discovered. What if the escorts robbed him before leaving? What if the escorts had played a part in his death by supplying him with drugs? What if the man had died, not as a result of the drugs, but what if one of the escorts had been an assassin and had killed the man on behalf of the British government because the man was a spy....
So I decided to go with it and create a story along those lines. My first idea was that the two escorts discovered secret files that the man had been supplying to the Russians, or the Chinese etc. They fled with the documents and had the secret service on their tail...
Then I decided it would be better if there was just one escort and the assassin had to chase him down, and of course they fell in love....lol
Hope that answers for you and thanks for the question!!1
