Oh, well...
Anyway, since it's Christmas, may I submit for your
consideration a little
tale that originally appeared in the January 1972 issue of
EQMM, and has
probably shown up in other places too. It's a DKA story,
"File #6: Beyond
the Shadow", by Joe Gores, wherein Dan Kearney himself runs
into the Ghost
of Ops Past on Christmas Eve. Sort of a Charles Dickens meets
Dashiell
Hammett tale. Certainly not as hardboiled as Mongo's Back in
Town, but a
pleasant little Christmas story, nonetheless. Definitely
worth hunting down.
Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel and all that...
Peace
