J. Carson Black is the bestselling author of the thriller THE SHOP and the Laura Cardinal crime fiction series: DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, and THE DEVIL'S HOUR.

A man driving an old car tried to abduct her as a child, following her through a Tucson neighborhood. Her friend's mother happened to be outside and scared the driver away. Black remembered the car--a 1955 Chevrolet. The sedan appears in DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, although the victim in the story isn't so lucky.

A Tucson native, Black writes about the New West.
