I'm afraid I have a confession to make-- I still haven't found a reasonably-priced copy of either of his books...<br /><br />This makes for an interesting and very different read. I certainly agree with your sentiment... We want more! We're greedy fellows, after all. ;)Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-28846207697216096052011-04-23T16:03:30.867-04:002011-04-23T16:03:30.867-04:00I'm still not entirely sure that Gallico shoul...I'm still not entirely sure that Gallico should be judged by the same standards as other detective writers, but that requires further investigation on my part and provides me with a convenient excuse to chuck this book in the cart when I order my next batch of books.

We want more!TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
