You're referring to page 88, correct?

"A girl I had known and cared for apparently had sold her first novel for a six-figure advance. I was mildly surprised to find a story about an ex-girlfriend dating a reasonably famous computer guru."

I took this to mean Bridie as well (since she'd be the only ex who'd really matter at this point), but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. Certainly, if this is her, then it's a clue that Mr. Rucka's thought about where she'd be and what she's been doing in those three years -- not that I doubt he would. These characters have such a rich, vivid life that I'd be shocked if he doesn't know exactly where Bridie's story is heading.

(And for what it's worth, I hope we'll see Mr. Panno again in the future, too. I almost don't mind the deaths of certain characters when we're introduced to new ones as fun as this.)


: Larry,
: actually - it wasn't a 'complete' absence - there was a thin statement about Bridie and one about Erica therein.

: : I wrote a longer message but unfortunately found that it was eaten. So I'll be much more brief here -- I finished "Patriot Acts" today and wanted to know if there were any plans for Bridgett. "Shooting at Midnight" remains one of my favorite novels, and Bridgett one of my favorite characters.

: : With the three year gap in "Patriot Acts" and the complete absence of Bridgett, without so much as a mention, I was definitely left wanting to know where the character has been.

: : Here's hoping we'll find out in either the next Kodiak novel, or (however unlikely), Ms. Logan will receive her own story, completely removed from Atticus Kodiak. "Shooting at Midnight" used the two narratives to great effect, but with that three year gap...it seems as though there is the potential for massive changes in the character's life. An awful lot can happen in three years, after all.
