I need a stimulating environment to write because my books are driven at 100 miles per hour at a time.

Intensely vivid characters, terrible crimes, and a brutal deep-frozen landscape all prove beyond a reasonable doubt that cold nurtures good and evil as readily as heat ... and that Giles Blunt is a really tremendous crime novelist.

I had a brief theater background and loved the backstage world there's more backstage work in television, so I saw a job advertised and applied, and got it. That was back in 1977, when getting jobs was easy.

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

Everything you could want - action, suspense, character and setting, all floating on the easy lyricism of a fine writer at the top of his game.

The most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.

I felt alienated by the experience and decided to stay away from corporate employment.
