He's said he uses Isola, which is New York flipped 90
degrees, so that he can move things around or make mistakes
and not get letters correcting him on mistakes. He can make
the police department work how he wants, not how it really
does. I don't mind that at all, but while I admire his output
his books just don't interest me. I try one every couple of
years to see if they or I have changed, but neither of us
ever do.
