KT - ...I remember Butcher's Boy and Metzger's Dog [Thomas Perry] fondly, though I have no idea how they will stand up over the time since I read them. ... I found Metzger's Dog in the library yesterday and it's hilarious. "...[CIA operative] Porterfield entered the Committee Room and classified the problem at a glance. There were no junior people scurrying in and out with earnest expressions, which meant the problem hadn't yet reached the moment when nothing could be done about it - the great flurry of pointless activity hadn't begun.... ... Then Porterfield noticed John Knox Morrison sitting at the far end of the table and snorted ... If Morrison was here, it was a disaster. Morrison wasn't someone who'd be called in to discuss strategies or solve problems. His only value was that he was someone who could placed in positions that required the right family, a certain kind of influence. The fact that he appeared to be a fool was part of his protection as an operative; the fact that he was a genuine fool meant the disguise was impenetrable...." Regards, Don
