Goodreads asked Robb Grindstaff:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Robb Grindstaff For Bones of Dead Man's Bluff, the idea came to me a few years ago about a famous preacher and a major politician who grew up together, now are both highly respected, but they share a dark secret from the past. They deal with that secretly differently, but if the secret became known, it could bring them both down. I jotted down a couple of paragraphs of that snippet of an idea, but was working two other novels -- one in final revisions and one in first draft -- so I had to set the new idea aside for a while. Started fleshing out the idea more two years ago, then wrote it last year. By the time it was published in 2024, it had become a bit prescient of current events.
