Awhile back I posted an article asking for speculations on what police
would be like in the 2030's and the response has been phenomenal. Even
though the discussion has now gone off on a (very fascinating) tangent,
I'd like to thank everyone who sent me mail or posted an article in
response. The scene I am planning to write will now be much more
fleshed out ... and I'll have enough material left over for a whole
'nother book. With the help of the Boston police department, of
course. (Now, if I could only find Spenser to have a nice long talk
with *him* ... )
My apologies to those of you who wrote long responses and got
(apparently) no thanks from me ... I tried to respond to every letter,
but many of my letters of thanks were bounced multiple times.
Technology is great -- when it works.
So, thanks again, folks. I'll post a message here when the book is
published (don't hold your breath ... this could take years), and you
can all see your names in print.
