Definitely ! I have the chance to translate this series in French, and I use as much of noir conventions that I can. I always loved this character ‹ there's something ambiguous to him ‹ is he Ye Great American Hero or just a bigot ? ‹ that reminds me of Remo Williams "The destroyer"

I always liked F. Paul Wilson's novels, though he has an ongoing problem : in his books, when a protagonist is a foreigner, you can be sure he is the Bad Guy in one way or another ! :)
