psycho perhaps culminating in Lehane's Bubba."
I'm feeling too lazy to get up and actually look, but didn't
Mosley's Mouse, a definite psycho, appear before Pike? And as
far as it goes, is Pike really any more psycho than Hawk? I'd
even say Pike has a strong sense of morality. He's just very
willing to use massive firepower in making bad people pay
with extreme prejudice.
