The article about the bookstore fire says "Miller plans to sell the books on eBay." Checked there. No listing yet.


Yup, checked craigslist Denver and Vegas... so far nada. I'll keep rummaging around though. Dive deep is right.

Ah! The pressure!!

 		...and cauldron bubble.
Oh... and I thought the Macbeth quote was a nice touch in the Mark Kamenski murder. Don't know if we'll be needing that reference in the future.

 		yup, that's pretty much the core of today's clue...

preliminary analysis (spoilerish):

- seems they're all 26 characters, likely code strings for future reference.
- the first letters are phonetic for B.L.A.C.K.
- Lima is backwards: "CARVED INTO THE INFIDELS BACK"

 		it's believed at this point not... but it's still debated. Some say it's a player just helping promote the game. There's no trusted in-game refrence to that entry at least. No response has been made from the notification email address.

Likewise, recent events describe an iPod left with a character accidentally, and someone founda suspicious listing on a lost Ipod tracking website.

Associations are common... the BOH forums are filled with people brand-spanking new the genre, so there's going to be a lot of red herrings being reported Wink who knows... they may be related, but at this point there's nothing to go on to verify.

 		Marsuvees Black is actually a character's name showing up in various places... it's thought that Black may be involved in this story Wink

 		Game could be cool...
But...
Ted Dekker is a terrible writer. I tried REALLY hard to like his stuff. Just clunky and poorly told. Skin is just awful. Too bad, because the idea is very cool.

Anyway, I'm going to watch the game and see how it goes.
