Q&A for author Michael Lister: Does your interest in the Atlanta Child Murders go back as far as your character's? Where does it come from?
While writing Innocent Blood, I actually asked a friend of mine who is the same age as me about it. We grew up together. He’s from a law-enforcement family and is now a sheriff. I thought if anyone would remember, it’d be him, but he said it really didn’t register with him at the time and wasn’t on his radar now.
I think too many people, particularly Southerners, have forgotten. I never can. It will be nice if Innocent Blood reminds those who were alive at the time and introduces it to those who weren’t.
The case is not solved and should not be filed away and forgotten.
As I wrote in Innocent Blood: "In one of the greatest ironies in criminal history, the Atlanta Child Murderer wasn’t arrested, charged with, or tried for killing a single child."
