A list of books I've read recently with some occasional gibberish thrown in.

THE COLD WAR SWAP - Ross Thomas
The very first Ross Thomas novel and it introduces Michael Padillo and his business partner McCorkle.
Set in Germany after the war it involves spies and traitors and all the things you always get in Thomas novels.
I never tire of re-reading Thomas, he is a genius. I don't know why he's not in print or why movies haven't been made of his novels, it beggars belief.
If I had to pick one crime/ detective/ caper series to take to my desert island it would be the works of Ross Thomas.
