I just finished "An Eye for Murder" (I like to start in order- I'll get to "Jump Cut" soon- but I have to find out what happened to David...). I enjoyed the book and Chicago. I have an odd question: the Zippo lighter in the story, was it one you had or had seen before? Well, not so odd... I live in Bradford, PA and frankly, Zippo is the only thing we can claim, except for Marilyn Horne. Thanks.

Hi, Jan. First off, thanks for reading. And writing. Actually, yes... the Zippo apparently did make one with the insignia of "The Drunk." I found it online somewhere (at least 15 years ago) when I was doing research for the book. I never had one, but I think I recall seeing a photo/sketch of it. Hope that helps.

I am a native Chicagoan and I've known Pascal Marco most of my life. I was on goodreads to write reviews on his books, and saw you are one of his favorite authors. I am curious about your book Havana Lost. What gave you the inspiration to write about Cuba? I've read Carlos Eire and spent 4 hours watching Che,the documentary, and even History will Absolve Me. My daughter married a Cuban so my grandkids are 1/2 Cuban.
