Nice book, your typical page turner. What makes it stand out from the crowd of crime fiction is that the main character is a wannabe photographer who desperately tries to make it big but ends up in the Trusts&Estates department of a Wall Street law firm until.... well go read yourself. Anyway this guy owns an assortment of cameras, among them "a new Leica M9 (with a $5,000 Leica 300 Summicaron lens)" (sic!). Funny that Mr. Kennedy got all the names and models of the other cameras right (Nikkormat, Pentax Spotmatic, Hasselblad...) but boy has he got it wrong about Leica. Go figure. #define OFF_TOPIC 0 - -- Dieter Dieter Stoll D-72127 Kusterdingen, Germany dstoll@tuebingen.netsurf.de Home fax: +49-7071-368520
