The serial arsonist is the most difficult to apprehend because the evidence is burned up.

I write a thousand words a day. Nothing will stop me, I mean nothing, until the book is finished. I'm disciplined in spite of myself.

The O.J. Simpson case, they had no understanding of that DNA evidence, and didn't want to.

I enjoy doing the research of nonfiction; that gives me some pleasure, being a detective again.
