  1. Fantastic work!; you'd have made a great P.I.... I'm covering Dark Passage on my blog, http://volcanocat.blogspot.com and you will be getting a link-back as I've stol... erm, 'borrowed' some of the addresses for the review. The review will be out in a week or three, if you object to my rinsing your work, feel free to send abusive messages and I'll replace the addresses with 'a street in San Francisco', retire to my study and commit ritual suicide in disgrace. Think of my kids, damnit!!. Anyway, I have been beguiled and entertained and for that, I thank you. Your Servant and Colleague, Mark Sohn.
