I've missed the Lou Boldt line....Art of Deception was my favorite, I think. Glad to see R. Pearson has brought him back at least partially!

[Jan C]

well, it is yours. I didn't have as many clues for this guy as I thought I did.

[T]

Well, Jan, s'pose we should confirm you were going after Dr. Alan Gregory?

[Jan C]

Yes, it was Alan Gregory. So you are not off the hook.

[T]

Hey, I was doing some research! :-)

Okay...

5. My wife trains Neapolitan mastiffs as guard dogs.

[T]

Okay, I apologize, by the silence, it appears I've killed yet another thread. Maybe someone else can start a new game so others can participate again.

[Scout]

T, you haven't killed it at all. I've been away for a couple of days, and in reading your clues, I know I've been acquainted with this character. Thought it might be Dalgliesh, but no. Bosch, but no. I'm still thinking.

[T]

Whew! On another board, I've noticed that threads die after I comment, thought it was following me. :-)

[Jan C]

I don't think I've read any about this character.

[Scout]

T, Maybe a nice glass of wine for you, now that Friday's finally here? Have fun! Still thinking . . .

[Scout]

Is it Butch Karp?

[T]

Scout: you got it! My next clue would have had to be the Vietnamese body guard....Or that the author's cousin has been collaborating on the books, while being an author on his own himself....

(PS...I'm a single malter... :-) )

[Scout]

Oh, T. My college roommate tried to convert me, but no luck. Enjoy!

This character, in both movie and book, kills and yet is innocent. I guess I should say that he's trying to solve a mystery.

[Scout]

1)This character, in both movie and book, kills and yet is innocent. I guess I should say that he's trying to solve a mystery.

2)It's dangerous to be this man's friend.

3)It's dangerous to be this man's enemy.

[Lobstergirl]

James Bond?

[Scout]

Good guess, but no. I should give more specific clues.

4)This man searches for his identity.

5)He's not a natural-born killer:)

[Lobstergirl]

Jason Bourne?

[Jan C]

didn't we already have jason botrne? or was he just a guess?

[Lobstergirl]

Oh I think you're right. He was just my guess - don't know if it's correct.

[Scout]

I don't remember him as a solve, and I'm not going back to look.

I'm done giving clues, and Lobstergirl got it.

Your turn. I'm looking forward to your clues, Lobstergirl.

[Lobstergirl]

I had amnesia too (like Bourne). I forgot we'd done him. And not that long ago either - Aug. 25. Anyway!
