"Scott is one of the foremost experts on crime fiction. I'd put
him up against any college professor in a test of wits anytime. He saw
the many influences that went into this book — as diverse as classic
Burt Reynolds films to Dashiell Hammett to the crime fiction of William
Faulkner. Not much escapes Scott." -Bestselling Author Ace Atkins talking about the heart and soul of MysteryPeople, Crime Fiction Coordinator, Scott.
