The Sebastian St Cyr historical mystery series by C.S. Harris is just terrific. Searching for missing street children takes Lord Devlin to Where the Dead Lie and some truly evil men.

You're welcome. It was really, really good. If I were a gazillionaire, I'd buy a copy for everyone I know.

Just a quick note that I'm planning on starting again with reading the movies; this time it will be Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton. Written in 1941, it was made into a film in 1945, which is available on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5RWE...

or on the Criterion Channel if you have that. I will start reading October 10th -- please feel free to join in.

Chinaman's Chance by Ross Thomas

Absolutely wonderful mystery by the late great Ross Thomas about 2 soldiers of fortune who chase a supposed $2,000,000 stolen in Saigon to a rotten little beach town in California. Flawless complex plot, excellent characters, and (of course) a beautiful woman. Highest recommendation -- 5 stars.

My Review"

the premise of that book sounds like the authors have updated and moved the Dyatlov Pass Incident (1959) from Russia (btw, on Dead Mountain there) to New Mexico. That's so weird -- I was just talking to someone about the original story yesterday. I might have to check this book out in the future.
