Some readers have identified a few of the "Easter eggs" contained in my novel SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL, but you're the only one (in public, at least) who's identified all of them.

In one of the Richard Stark's Grofield novels, Grofield is recruited against there will by a pair of government agents. Grofield assumes they are CIA. One of the agents reply that he hates how the public doesn't realize there are other intelligence services. I always wondered if these agents were from Helm's agency (though they don't mention assassination which was what Helm's agency specialized in.) Same as the government agents Travis McGee meets in the Green Ripper.<br /><br />The Butcher's Boy seems to be like one of the Assassins Houses you find in The Destroyer. A family line of assassins were the occupation is passed from father to son. Sinanju being the most important one. (Remo, of course, being Chiun's adopted son.)Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04695983348254508387noreply@blogger.com
