Description
The New York Times –bestselling author tells the story of how he created his popular San Francisco sleuth. In 1989, everyman Dismas Hardy debuted in John Lescroart's mystery, Dead Irish . It's a story millions of readers have enjoyed, along with other entries in the New York Times –bestselling series. But a tale they may not know is how Lescroat invented the ex-Marine, ex-cop, and ex-lawyer turned sleuth. In this brief autobiographical essay, Lescroart details the development of Dismas Hardy, as well as his own career. He discusses his attempt to be a "serious" novelist, his stint as the lead singer of a band, and his struggle to get published. He also talks about how he realized he was meant to be a writer (and not working a "regular" nine-to-five) and how Dismas's adventures almost didn't become the series readers love. Praise for the Dismas Hardy Novels "Compulsively readable . . . a dense and involving saga of big-city crime and punishment." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A beautifully written San Francisco murder story with perfect-pitch dialogue." -- Playboy on Dead Irish "The killer proves to be as fascinating a personality as Hardy himself." -- Publishers Weekly on Dead Irish "The narrative flows effortlessly and includes a Perry Mason–worthy moment when Hardy manifests a bit of courtroom magic. Lescroart is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy great ensemble casts." -- Booklist on Poison
