If he actually SAW that incident, his duty was not to write a novel, but to CALL THE POLICE!
Excellent point. You are going to have mail in a minute.
I agree with you Miss Marple!! What decent rational person could even bring themselves to write that passage???
"If he actually SAW that incident, his duty was not to write a novel, but to CALL THE POLICE!"
He still has a duty to call the police. He has stated now that he did see this happen.
Call the FBI
This needs to be investigated immediately. An investigation must be started NOW.
CALL THE FBI
I believe he saw it happen - in southeast asia, in Bangkok.
