Thanks all of you!
John CaweltiŽs and Richard SlotkinŽs book I can borrow ftrom the Swedish
library system so IŽll do that and read them as soon as possible.
H.A. Derosso seems very interesting and also The Whispering Sands-series,
IŽll try to read those as well. Leonard IŽve read of course, but mostly his
crime novels (and some western I think long ago).
Thanks again!
Bengt
