Andreas Norman steps into the Interrogation Room to answer a few questions about his writing, craft, and real-life experiences. Andreas is a former diplomat who worked for the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for ten years on security issues and counterterrorism. Norman's debut novel, INTO A RAGING BLAZE, anticipated the Edward Snowden revelations, received international acclaim, and was shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger Award. His latest release, THE SILENT WAR, explores the personal lives and suspicions of covert operatives amid tremendous international cover-ups and betrayal.
For this episode, Andreas and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discuss writing authentic spies and diplomats; the importance of humanity in characters; the real daily work of intelligence services and the double-life necessary for such agents; and who should investigate Andreas' murder.
