Steven Erikson was on the Ten Very Big Books podcast and mentioned he took a few weeks off from Walk in Shadow to begin work on a murder mystery novella (or short novel) starring Flicker from Crack'd Pot Trail (see about the 1:08:00 mark).

Flicker is the...greatest assassin ever...and the fact that nobody knows about it proves just how great an assassin he is. So it's that kind of a story.


He references the British crime series Midsomer Murders and says:

If there's one thing I have learned from TV, it's that sleepy English villages have a higher murder rate than Medellin at the height of the Escobar era. :apt:
