Today, I’ve got a re-scheduled guest post. The post got to me a little late and I was traveling — no way to post it, even from Business Class.

“After killing the red-haired man, I took myself off to Quinn’s for an oyster supper.” Michael Cox pulls no punches with the beginning of The Meaning of Night: A Confession.
