Having not read either book, I'm wondering whether it's
possible that Chase was not deliberately ripping off
Faulkner. SANCTUARY was supposed to have been loosely based
on a real-life kidnapping case. Is it possible that Chase
simply heard about the same case and based his own novel on
it, independent of Faulkner's already having done so?
