After having finished editing my porn book and writing another one (both, sadly (?), non-fiction), I've been reading Bill Granger's Schism from 1981. It's one of his Devereaux spy novels. I'm not big on spy novels, but I find myself liking this very much. It's about a Vatican spy that worked as a missionary in Vietnam and Laos in the fifties, disappeared and gets back around 1980. CIA, Vatican and other people are of course interested in him and Devereaux is hired to find out what the man really knows. I don't remember seeing much discussion on Bill Granger lately, is he still writing?
Today I received a package from John Weagly containing four Hard Case Crime novels, by Christa Faust, Russell Hill, Robert Bloch and Richard Aleas! Woo-hoo! This is so great. I just can't wait to get my hands on them... sadly I'll have work-related books to read, such as the Finnish translation of William Morris utopian classic, News from Nowhere. There are no babies blowing up things in that one, let me tell you...
John also packed along one of his own books, a small paperback called The Undertow of Small Town Dreams. Thanks very much!
