Gosh,only read about one(1) book a year. Read "Stay Close" by Harlan Coben,a number one bestseller,who has his own website. I've always wondered how authors come up with so many names of people,wondering if by chance they use an existing name of a person. This author did use existing names of police officers,forensics guys,detectives etc. in this crime thriller although events etc. were fictional. These people gave their OK to use their names as long as they were listed in the Acknowledgements! They then donated to charities for such an honour. I wasn't sure if all the place names and tourist attractions were for real,but they were.EG, Atlantic City's Korean War Memorial(a 12 ft hight soldier) which comes up via Google;also so does "Lucy the Elephant" and the "Pine Barrens" which in the book was a murder site. A great read if you're into thrillers.
