Gar Anthony Haywood in The Rap Sheet
Gar Anthony Haywood wrote a fantastic piece for The Rap Sheet blog about his PI, Aaron Gunner, to mark the re-release of his books. There's a lot of interesting information to be had, about Gunner's race, time period and setting. Here's an excerpt:
Fear of the Dark, my first Gunner novel, was essentially written around a single scene that came to me early on. Threatened by some very nasty people to stop working the case he’s on, Gunner does something intended to clearly identify him as someone other than your grandfather's fictional private eye: he quits. Much as you or I would no doubt do, were multiple guns shoved in our face for the same purpose.
