Every One Of My Books Is Written From The Viewpoint Of Cops, With The Exception Of My Book Killer On The Road, Which Is Written From The Viewpoint Of A Serial Killer.

I Am Conservative By Temperament. I Disapprove Of Criminal Activity. I Am Very Solidly And Markedly On The Side Of Authority. The Truth Is I Would Rather Err On The Side Of Too Much Authority Than Too Little.

I Wanted Things. Whatever It Cost And Whatever It Took, I Would Do It. And That's It.

My Guys Are Morally Weak, And They Reach Toward A Tenuous Knowledge Of Self-sacrifice, And Sometimes It's Too Late. I Find That Moving. It's Not A Life I'd Want To Live. But, Then, I'm Not Completely My Books.

In The Time Just Before The Bombing Of Pearl Harbor, When Perfidia Opens, We Were Pre-psychologized. There Were No Concepts Of Identity, No Politics Of Victimization. Reparation Wasn't In The Language. Nobody Thought About Giving The Great Grandchildren Of Black Slaves So Much As $1.98. And All Of A Sudden The Bombs Hit, Interventionism Versus Isolationism Became A Dead Issue, And It Was Us-versus-them In A Heartbeat.
