We talked briefly about such subjects as conspiracy theories and the peculiar case of former MI5 agent David Shayler. We actually met early, before his publisher’s scheduled lunch, to have a few beers together at Covent Garden. It was good to see him again in London, particularly since I wasn’t then feeling under tremendous time constraints. Just this last autumn, I managed to carve out some time with Mooney at Bouchercon in San Francisco. Later, I conducted an interview with Mooney for Shots, and have since bumped into him several times at ThrillerFest in New York City. My first encounter with Mooney, who now lives just outside of Boston with his wife and their son, came during the 2003 Bouchercon in Las Vegas-a meeting that led quickly to a rather drunken evening spent at The Peppermill restaurant, together with Irish novelist Ken Bruen and San Francisco author, critic, and noir film expert Eddie Muller. Just before Christmas, I took the opportunity to spend some time with one of my favorite thriller writers, American Chris Mooney, who was in London to visit with his editor, Mari Evans, at publisher Michael Joseph/Penguin UK. * * * Praise for Chris Mooney: 'Chris Mooney is a wonderful writer. If Darby doesn't lose her life, she fears that she will lose not only her mind, but her soul. One even the FBI are running scared from.

They're experts at hiding things: the living and the dead. Whatever you do, don't come looking for me.
