I just finished '9 DRAGONS', the latest Connelly (in ARC, for which I
will be writing a review in October when it releases). There was a
character named Lau in it who I suspect is named in homage to John Lau
on this list (they have similar professions as far as I can tell, and
I think from John's posts that he at least has friends in Connelly's
circle). The character is named Henry, not John though, so I could be
wrong.
it's news to me, but if that's what happened, I'm honored. I know Terrill Lankford, who works with Michael Connelly
John Lau

I should have known that Economist wasn't just being lazy stating the
November release for the UK. I erroneously assumed they were being
Euro-centric, and that it wouldn't be out here (Toronto) until then
either. I will pick it up tomorrow for sure!
