I've enjoyed reading Steig Larsson's 'The girl with the dragon tattoo' ... once you get past the Swedish habit of addressing all by their surnames ..... really well planned and an exciting read once you get into it. I'm encouraged to try his next 'The girl who played with fire'. |

Something like over $7 in pages with each page 5 cents to copy. Now I can't get ahold of her because my mail server is messed up. I wish I knew my password, because I've used everything I ususally use and still can't access the site. I may have to end up getting an new account and I hate losing all my old genealogy information and contacts. |

It's about Billy Hayes, and he was smuggling drugs out of Turkey and got caught. Now he's in prison in Turkey and it's his story about what went on there. |
