All my novels are about the ambiguities that lie beneath the sharp edges of the law.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
For me, the study of these laws is inseparable from a love of Nature in all its manifestations.
My books are never about the crimes. They are about how the characters react to the crimes.
The study of law left me unsatisfied, because I did not know the aspects of life which it serves. I perceived only the intricate mental juggling with fictions that did not interest me.
The easy answer is that writing novels is a lot more fun than practicing law.
My books have contradictions all the time - and people are fine with that.
Judgments and secrets are what make a good novel.
I just had the sense that at least the books that I had read about law just didn't really have enough of that.
I don't really consider any of my novels 'crime' novels.
If you desire information on some point of law, you are not likely to ponder over the ponderous tomes of legal writers in order to obtain the knowledge you seek, by your own unaided efforts.
