Bob's annual signing at Crime Time Books in Pasadena, CA, gave him the the opportunity for one last in-store souvenir photo with owner Linda Bivens, who's closing her doors to hereafter deal exclusively at special events and at her on-line site. The store was a regular stop for so many authors and will be missed.

Gary Phillips, the one and only, bounces into a second one-last photo, and the paperback he's holding is a title by one of his favorite authors. Neither BL nor GP, so wanna guess?
