Click here to listen to a lively 30-minute interview with host Douglas Gibbs. (my portion begins at the 11:20 mark.)

“I appreciate the fact that you’re comparing this to a detective story, because that’s really what it felt like. You know, in classical detective stories you’ve got a private eye, and typically he’s butting heads with the law enforcement. They’re not on the same team. More often than not, the law enforcement people are just about ready to arrest the private eye, instead of going after the real bad guy. And that’s kind of how it felt. We were—and we didn’t want this! We did not want to be butting heads with the doctors. We wanted to be on the same team with them.”
