Jake Hinkson<\/strong><\/a> the author of the highly recommended Hell on Church Street<\/strong><\/a>, The Posthumous Man<\/strong><\/a> and Saint Homicide<\/strong> is the subject of an interview at CrimeSpree<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hinkson<\/strong> talks about his influences, growing up in the South, his love of old films and more.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of quotes to entice you to click over…<\/p>\n

\n

Hardboiled crime fiction is about toughness. Noir is about weakness.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

With\u00a0Hell On Church Street<\/i>, I found the voice of the main character right away. It jumped right out of me. I just loved the duality of Geoffrey Webb, his surface politeness and deep-seated contempt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

With\u00a0The Posthumous Man<\/i>, the voice of the main character was tricky because he\u2019s a guy who, as the story begins, has just tried to commit suicide…. He dies in the emergency room for three minutes, and then wakes up to find that he has this bizarre second chance presented to him in the person of a deeply troubled nurse. He\u2019s more philosophical than emotionally frazzled. I mean, after you\u2019ve been dead, what\u2019s there to be frazzled about?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

There\u2019s a line in\u00a0Saint Homicide<\/i>\u00a0where Daniel says, \u201cI simply don\u2019t know what religion means to people for whom it doesn\u2019t mean\u00a0everything<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
