[Fot] Burt Levy’s new character

[Philip Gott]

Wow! That is so cool!
When Burt was writing the first book he “borrowed” a ride in Bill Colom’s nicely restored ‘62 TR4. The car had been bought new and converted to a race car right out of the showroom.  I wonder if he borrowed the car knowing what he was going to write, or if the car helped inspire the story.

This character is sprinkled into several chapters and his name is… Joe Alexander.
