Yeah, but he said -basically- that he wrote "Marlowe with
baggage"; I
suppose Bosch's search for his mother's killer or mother or
whatever
(that @#$% backstory). I don't think it was "thinking" so
much as the
"baggage".

Yeah, if they had taken bids on the t-shirt and "manuscript"
I'm sure
that alone would have raised -bazillions- forthwith rather
than give it
as a door prize (although they seemed to have several--so it
wasn't that
it was "rare")
_The Poet_ and The Black Echo_ (the first Bosch) were the
best,
similarities between them that might make you wonder if he's
stealing
from himself.
I thought so too and BLOOD WORK makes me think that also.
It's the
"loner" thing. The twist in the beginning was a touch I wish
I had not
known (sometimes the beginning is as important a spoiler of
the plot
set-up as the ending). But his hero has a heart-transplant
and that is
cruicial to the story.
