AbeBooks.com has just posted an interview with murder mystery writer Chris Knopf.

Knopf has written a series of thrillers starring Sam Acquillo. The Last Refuge, Two-Time and Head Wounds will be joined by Hard Stop in May. The books are set in the upscale Hamptons. Chris, who runs a marketing consultancy when he’s not writing novels, tells us about his love of thrillers and how it all started…..

“I’m not big on contemporary thriller writers, although I do admire Sue Grafton and I thought Dennis Lehane’s Mystic River was amazing. I am more of a Raymond Chandler, Ross Macdonald, John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett type of guy. I enjoy the hard-boiled crime fiction from the 1930s through 1950s.”
