You cast a wide net in terms of your personal interests and in the "voices" of the characters in your books. The war books have entirely different voices. The mysteries with Mac and Dinger are unique. How do you experience the emergence of such diverse voice in literature?

I also love old noir. I found a movie on Netflix called "Laura" and have watched it about six times partly because of the narcissist Clifton Webb plays and his interesting dialogue and delivery. I also love the P.I. in it and how he pronounces words. Have you ever seen the movie? If so did you like the scene where he shines the light into Gene Tierney's eyes? Could you see Dinger do something like that?
