June 20, 2025: By “he” I mean Northern Irish novelist Steve Cavanagh, not Anthony Hopkins. And by “it” I mean that in my interview with Cavanagh, he admits that his gangbusters new thriller, Fifty Fifty, pays homage to Thomas Harris’s The Silence of the Lambs, which I suspected but did not say because I didn’t want him to think I was accusing him of being derivative. Anyway, Cavanagh told me other interesting things, and you can find out what they were by reading my interview, which runs today in Shelf Awareness (see here).
