Top Suspense Group: Today's Sizzling Summer Read: Blood Moon

Top Suspense Group: Today's Sizzling Summer Read: Blood Moon: "Judging by reader mail over the years Blood Moon is the most sinister of all my suspense novels.

'Blood Moon has everything--prison drama, horror story, whodunit, psycho-thriller--all skillfully combined to lead you to a shock ending.' Scotland on Sunday.

I started working on the story after reading two unrelated news stories. One had to do with a strange series of murders in a rural community. The other was about a very rich young man who'd been found guilty of second degree murder for the death of his girl friend and was serving time in particularly violent prison. I wondered both about the nature of the murderer in the boonies and also how the young men, accustomed to a rather cushy life from all accounts, would survive behind bars. A story began to emerge."
