Kaor, Paul!
But MURDER IN BLACK LETTER was billed as a Trygve Yamamura novel, and I recall feeling frustrated over how small a part he played in the book. After years of reading mysteries in which Fr. Brown, Lord Peter Wimsey, Gideon Fell, Nero Wolfe, Judge Dee, etc., were PROMINENTLY seen as playing major roles, in their different ways, in their stories, the minimal role Yamamura played disappointed me.
Ad astra! Sean
