I've included three write-ins since I failed to pay close
enough attention during the nomination process: Charlie
Resnick from John Harvey, Elliot Steil from Jose Latour, and
Hector Belascoran Shayne from Paco Ignacio Taibo. If Frank
and Cora from The Postman Always Rings Twice are counted as
one character, my extra vote would go to Alicia from Adios,
Muchachos, by Daniel Chavarria.
