Right. How could I forget? I read NIGHT DOGS a couple of
years ago. Loved it. Strong storyline and a great character.
The openining paragraphs with the dogs capture the true
spirit of the rest of the novel. I haven't read SYMPATHY FOR
THE DEVIL. Also curious, I googled KA awhile back. IIRC, he
was/is writing another "big" fiction book.
