Hi MIke, Hey, thanks for reminding me about M-Squad -- gonna get it on Netflix. Mr Marvin was great in Cat Balou -- and filmed in my Oregon by the way! Good to from you too. Trying not to let the freelancing get the best of me but you know how that goes. Hope you're doing well on your end. Steve

Great post. I'm simply a sucker for the semi-innocent amateur operator caught in the web of intrigue in foreign locales. Alan Furst is writing fantastically detailed stories but I find that Kerr, Le Carré and others do it with a faster moving plot. Those covers are really great, too. Thanks for adding to my reading list, I think ;)
