A Philly Cop and a World of Trouble by Jane Gorman
Philadelphia
Detective Adam Kaminski doesn't want to solve murders far from home. I would
say he’s more of a reluctant hero. But a good man doesn’t walk away when he
sees bad things being done, and Adam Kaminski is a good man.
I
created Detective Adam Kaminski to solve a murder in Warsaw in my first
mystery, A Blind Eye. I had a firm
grasp of the story, the setting, the motive and the many other characters in
the book. Early on, I thought of making a Polish journalist (and father of the
dead girl) the hero of the book. But even as I drafted it out, I knew I needed
someone else. An outsider.
Adam
Kaminski is the ultimate outsider in all of his books. From the unknown setting
of Warsaw, to the challenging environment of Washington, D.C., to being kept on
the outside of an investigation in his hometown of Philadelphia, Adam does what
he thinks is right. Regardless, sometimes, of the consequences.
Inspiration
for Adam Kaminski came from a number of places. As a fan of Agatha Christie, I
couldn’t help but be inspired to create a detective who understands human
nature. Who sees, perhaps, more than other people see.
I was
equally inspired by the classic figure from the Clint Eastwood Westerns, the
character mysteriously known as the Man with No Name. A little good. A little
bad. Perhaps living in that gray area between always doing what is right and
crossing the line into sometimes doing wrong.
And
some inspiration came from my own life. He’s a man who likes to explore the
world and meet new people. He experiences the places he visits and uses his
powers of observation and description to let his readers share those
experiences. Well, maybe not the getting shot experience. But definitely the
food. And the history.
I
invite you to read the books and judge for yourself. Who does Adam Kaminski
remind you of?
The
fourth book in the series, What She Fears,
is now available for pre-order. What She
Fears takes Adam to Galway, where he inevitably stumbles upon a murder only
to find he has to figure out whodunit before he becomes a convenient scapegoat
– or a convenient target.
