This musical scale, which is centered around the tritone, also contains a flatted third interval and a flatted 7th interval.

This has lost some steam - perhaps a hint is in order - I certainly do not want to diminish the quality of this game.

I think if no one gets in the next 24 hours you should declare it as unsolved (kind of like the time limit in the real game) and give us a new question.

Not what I had in mind, but this is a correct answer.

I was going for diminished scale, or more accurately, half diminished.

The board is yours.

This author's novel inspired a Ridley Scott movie and a Rob Zombie song.

The book is not "Two Lane Blacktop", and I was actually asking for the author.

Correct.

So, do you know everything or do you just have amazing Google-fu?
