In your book,”The Man Who Came Uptown”, several books were mentioned. I’ve managed to find a few, but can’t find The Passenger or Hard Rain Falling. Can you tell me the author of “The Passenger”? I will eventually find Carpenter’s “Hard Rain Falling, but I thik it’s going to take some time.
Thank you.
