“Daisy grew out of a number of elements in my past. I’ve long been fascinated by cold cases, and as a teenager in Nashville, I followed the case of Marcia Trimble’s murder closely, from the time she was killed till the crime was solved forty years later. Cold cases are worked in a different way from recent crimes. Layer onto that the fact that my grandparents had a farm in Alabama where I spent a lot of time, getting to know the people in the community. I knew men like Roscoe. I talked to a lot of Vietnam vets. I had heard backporch tales about the Dixie Mafia. Eventually, it all started coalescing into a story that became Burying Daisy Doe.”
