I was with friends yesterday when the television news announced the crash of a helicopter on the roof, and resulting fire, of a mid-Manhattan high rise on Seventh Avenue; and that the pilot died. We all breathed-in sharply and were blindsided again; all made differing...

"My love affair with plots, murder, mystery, spies and, in general, with crime novels began at an early age. I read and read – probably have read 2,000 crime novels since then.
