I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row, and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal, and I want him to grow and change.

I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister; I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads.
