Be warned. Do not buy the Thinking Ink Media edition of this book - it's full of misprints, which I'm sure wouldn't be in other versions. For example, in chapter "Horse Feathers" on page 63 in my book, the third paragraph starts:
"Cairo did not heed the detectives. He was glaring at the girl huddled in front of him. His hips were working spasmodically, but no coherent sound came from between them."
Could someone with a different edition confirm that this should be "lips", not "hips"?

Oh dear, that's an unfortunate misprint, makes it sound like he is involuntarily hulah hooping! It definately reads "lips" in my copy (Crime Materworks, P71)

Hi All, Hope you had a nice Christmas. Apologies, but I will be back and forth to Asia on business for much of Jan-April and my dates away seem to coincide with the book club meetings. Hope to make either the March, or April meeting possibly.
