Your review is very perceptive, and (also) made my day.<BR/><BR/>By the way, the title isn't an allusion to Greene's wonderful book or Carol Reed's equally wonderful film. What it is, is the 19th or 20th title the folks at William Morrow and I considered after they decided not to go with my first one, which was THE MILLION DOLLAR MINUTE. But I'm flattered that you'd associate the title of this book with such richly atmospheric works.<BR/><BR/>Tim HallinanTimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00551263887774445511noreply@blogger.com
