Knew it read wrong. Thanks. Read THE COOL COTTONTAIL and one
other, along with IN THE HEAT about 15 years or so ago, and
the one involving the isolated gunman (GIVE A BOY A GUN?)
about six or seven years ago...rather enjoyed the way Tibbs
brushed off comparisons with Poitier in the later novels, and
rather wondered if Ball set THE COOL COTTONTAIL in a nudist
colony in part to make it unfilmable (though he's lucky he
didn't get something like the Sellers/Clouseau A SHOT IN THE
DARK as a result...an explicitly comic Tibbs film, hmm). TM
(who rather liked THE ORGANIZATION)

It's the Pasadena PD, not the SFPD. Tibbs worked for SFPD in
two of the movies, but never in the books.
