Actually I was talking about the reprint of the title story plus some other short fiction of LB's that Dennis McMillan printed in about 1999. I don't know how expensive or available it is now, since I got mine when it came out, but it's a gorgeous book. Here's a link to a page describing it's contents. The link is from Kevin's ThrillingDetective web site. My favorite website (except during football season, when it's tied with ESPN for that honor - but TD is a winner year round). Steven
