Goodreads asked Mike Martin:

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

Mike Martin Beneath the Surface, like all of the other books in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series is inspired by the scenery and coastline along the shores of Newfoundland. In the springtime massive pieces of ice break off glaciers near the North Pole and drift down the coast of Newfoundland. Some of these icebergs are as tall as skyscrapers and the most amazing thing is that only about 1/8th of the total iceberg is visible. The other 7/8ths like most great mysteries are buried far beneath the surface.
