            And if you'll allow characters from paperbacks based on TV shows: Gil Grissom, Horatio Caine, and Mac Taylor.

                                                Yea! I just reread all of the McGee books, in order, last month. Well, almost. I couldn't find a new copy of The Empty Copper Sea. I thought Amazon was just out. Then I looked a little deeper. It turns out that a movie was made of this book. So a movie studio must own the rights. I had to settle for a used copy.

                                                            I like the "Killer" too, and I really hope that there will be a few more books in the series. I liked Craig Lowell, even more, and because that series had an actual end, we know about his happy retirement.
