August Riordan’s first appearance in print had been in another story for The New Black Mask called “There’s No Such Thing as Private Eyes” and I’d written The Immortal Game as a follow-up, but unfortunately the publication folded before the story made it into print. The Immortal Game started out as a short story for a trade paperback quarterly called The New Black Mask. Your first book, The Immortal Game, was nominated for several awards and features a detective named August Riordan. He recently visited Oxford University to study the original manuscript of Raymond Chandler's The Long Goodbye. Sharing a birthday with the great Alfred Hitchcock is mystery writer Mark Coggins, whose work has been favorably compared to that of Chandler and Hammett, and who has a new August Riordan mystery coming out soon.
