One thing that's kind of interesting about Freeling's short
stories is that many of them were about Van der Valk, but
they were published AFTER the novel in which VdV had his
irreversible rendevous with the Reichenbach. Supposedly they
were set BEFORE that book, but I always wondered why, if he
felt free to resurrect VdV for short stories, he felt
constrained about doing it in novels.

P.S.
Saturday, July 26, was my mom's birthday. I got to wish her a
happy birthday personally, instead of going to church and
lighting a candle in her memory because a lot of you Rare
Birds offered prayers and support several months ago when she
was undergoing a dangerous surgery. Seemed like an
appropriate occasion to thank you all once again.
