As my jet lag is very bad, I have turned to the library at the American Club for additional reading material. I picked up A Cold Case by New Yorker writer Philip Gourevitch, who also wrote We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, a book about the Rwandan massacres. A Cold Case is about a 1970 double murder that went unsolved until the late 1990s. A pretty swift read, I recommend it to my fellow Law & Order fans.
