"Babylon" features in his mailing address.<br /><br />In his own words:<br /> <br />"When I said after a bad day of hassles that <I>Bad Day At Black Rock</I> had nothing on MY day, Rick [Keith H's son] came back with - 'Wrong, Dad, it's A Bad Day at Babylon.' Which I thought had a decent sort of ring to it and swiped for the title. He still reminds me it was he who gave me Dead Where You Stand'."<br /><br />And Chris, there's more about Madigan and Keith Hetherington in the current Black Horse Extra (www.blackhorsewesterns.com) and at the same site's earlier editions, notably Dec. '06, June '08 and March '09.<br /><br />One of the unsung greats!Chap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-68056597478280822202009-06-01T18:26:33.639+01:002009-06-01T18:26:33.639+01:00That's it.

What a name!<br /><br />This book sounds really good, too. Have you seen David Cronenberg's <I>A History of Violence</I>? Your description of the book's plot reminded me of that a bit—guy's past catching up with him and affecting his family. <br /><br />I'll have to see if I can pick this one up sometime. Sounds really good!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11284832038989114035noreply@blogger.com
