We all read crime novels, and all crime novels feature guns (more or less). When I got to work on my own crime novel-my first, after cutting my teeth on Napoleonic spy thrillers-I wanted to make sure I knew my stuff. It's a contemporary heist thriller about counterfeiting, art forgery, neo-Nazis and a horseback-Amtrak train robbery. Guns are involved. My grandfather, a second World War vet, taught me to shoot when I was a kid, but that was nearly twenty years ago. There's a lot about the gun world you don't know unless you've spent some time immersed in it. So I spent some time immersed in it.
