I have a note in my files of a short story published as by
Jim Thompson in a Finnish slick paper in the late fifties.
The paper in question printed many stories out of Saturday
Evening Post and several others slick magazines. Does anyone
know whether Thompson actually wrote for slicks? This one
isn't even a mystery story, rather a romantic South Seas
story - which doesn't particularly sound like our Jim!
