Durham suggests that the description of Constable Barron from
'No Crime
in the Mountains' to be 'essentially the same as the
description of
Constable Tinchfield in Chapter 4 of 'The Lady in the
Lake'.
BTW, in a letter to James Sandoe (Nov 19, 1949) Chandler
writes:
'I am now trying to remove the Nazi element from a story
called 'No
Crime in the Mountains' and also bits of a description I
swiped for a
book'.
I would imagine that the 'bits of description' Chandler
refers to here
is the description Durham discusses.

I was a little alarmed to read the press release this morning about my mother being bought out by AOL. They're willing to let her keep her own identity within the conglomerate but she had to be branded with AOL's distinctive logo. Still, it should improve her reach significantly, and I wish her the best.
