So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job.

No, I'm a man with a rule. People leave me alone, I leave them alone. If they don't, I don't.

I don't want to put the world to rights... I just don't like people who put the world to wrongs.

I think my books come out very visual, which is an obvious consequence.

British crime stories tend to be very internal, psychological, claustrophobic, very limited in terms of geography.

I went to college. West Point is technically a college.

I said nothing. I’m good at saying nothing. I don’t like talking. I could go the rest of my life without saying another word, if I had to.
