Wonderful lines...

...in the current novel I'm reading...

"I knew her, all right: Sister Mary Magdalene of the Special Action Executive of the Poor Clares. The fun nun with the gun. She's helped me crack the Grail caper a few years back, but I'd lost track of her since then. The Clare's SAE was way too catholic in its interests for my way of thinking - and now the seal of the confessional kept me from asking who had hired her."

Mmm. Down these mean streets a warrior monk must go who is not himself mean...

(I do enjoy modern hard-boiled Knight Templar fiction, it puts a nice spin on things...)

Actually, it's more that I was going to leave the reveal for the upcoming review.

As it is, it's "The Apocalypse Door" by J.D. Macdonald.

I was going to say "I'm sure I've read that," but now I don't think I have. Want to, though...

Oh shucks. I knew the answer but you blurted it out before I had a chance. We bought and read it after reading how much Kate and Chad liked it in their booklogs. Jim MacDonald says there's a sequel RSN.

Excellent. I do enjoy that sub-sub-sub-genre :-)
