I don't like her books that much, but at a reading I went to
Barbara Wilson said one of the smartest things about writing
mysteries I've heard. She said that she's interested in
politics and social issues and that a great thing about
writing mysteries is that you've always got at least one
character who's running around and asking questions, and you
can do a lot with that if you use it well. But the truth is
that there really aren't very many mystery writers who do
that, which I think is a shame. Reginald Hill does it, sort
of, although his questions/situations are literary and punny
rather than political, which is fine, too. But I can't
think of too many others.

How about Dobe rescue?

That's an outstanding idea.
