To mark HARDtalk's twentieth anniversary, here is another chance to see Stephen Sackur's 2014 interview with the man who has been called America's greatest living crime writer.

He writes of what he knows - his own mother was murdered when he was a child. So is that simple, terrible fact the key to understanding all the words he has ever written?
