I also had to drop one of Wessel's books. It was a small
wonder that a Finnish publisher did at least two of his
books. I once googled Wessel and found that there had been no
discussion about him on Rara-Avis! (The stupid Finnish
publisher may have decided after having Wessel's bad work in
their hands that there's no market for American hardboiled
crime in Finland. Too bad.)

The fans of DETOUR should remember that Martin Goldsmith's
original novel is available in trade paperback.

I liked LEON and thought it was Besson's best film (which
probably doesn't mean much). I don't know if it's noir,
though.
