Maybe Steve would like to too.

Not that it's a bad thing as I like Manchette's books a lot. I've been considering Garnier ever since Steve mentioned him, and this about convinced me. I see my library does not have this, but they do have two other titles of his available as ebooks, so I will either mentally flip a coin, go with the earlier one, or look at their plot descriptions on Amazon to decide which one to try.Jeff Meyersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093411926030586355noreply@blogger.com
