Finally read GASPIPE by Philip Carlo.

Not impressed in the slightest. Full of over grand statements and hackneyed old rubbish about him being a lover of animals and his dear old mother despite him beind a homicidal,murdering maniac! Also about him hating rats and never considering himself a rat,even though he was a rat?

And the daftest thing in it? When Carlo tries to get into the Sicilian psyche he talks about the night of the Sicilian Vespers when the islanders rose up against the French invaders,back in the 1200's. According to Carlo this uprising echoed around the world "from Saudi Arabia to Norway"!!!!!!!

How did this info echo back in the medieval world? Internet,phones,carrier pigeon???

Ridiculous stuff,from start to finish!
