Cyber trolls, serial killers and the FBI – how does local author, L.A. Larkin, create such terrifying stories?
How does a crime-thriller author get inside the head of a serial killer? How do they create story locations that feel so real? Do fiction authors get the law enforcement procedures right? And does the FBI ever talk to authors?
