I wanted to complain about the demand for small bills "Nothing Larger than a hundred". Phil, for decades the LARGEST bill in US circulation is the $100. The dufus who wrote "The Job" made the same blunder, in his case it was critical to the plot and destroyed his whole concept that somebody could smuggle hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the US via airlines by cramming a laptop computer case full of them. Otherwise not a bad "plane read" although I figured out well ahead who the bad woman was.

Dear Wesearch: Thanks for the comment about the denomination of the bills. Thanks also for saying that "The Associate" was a good "plane read." That's what it was intended to be, so I take that as a high compliment. I have always been a voracious reader and I was a criminal defense lawyer for twenty five years. I loved to read books during breaks in my trials that let me escape from the pressure of a murder case. I write the type of books I love to read - good plane reads. Phil

I also thought the $100 reference was odd. I think the $1,000 bill has been out of circulation for about 50 years.

More airplane feedback. I bought The Associate in the Salt Lake City airport and had read half of it by the time I landed at home in Portland. The book was more addicting that drugs, I finished it the very next day. I'm wishing that I hadn't already read all of your books, I could use another distraction right now.

I've got to confess that this is news to me. Maybe I don't travel in the right circles, or maybe I rely too much on credit, debit, and ATM cards, but I'm in my mid-1950s, have lived in the U.S. my whole life, and have never even possessed a $100 and only came close to having a $50 bill once. One time in the late 1990s when I paid for my groceries with a debit or ATM card, I asked for $50 cash back, expecting to get 2 $20's and one $10 bill. The cashier started to hand me a $50 bill. I politely refused it and asked for the lower denomination bills.

Because I don't run across $100 bills much, I honestly didn't know they are the highest denomination available. So that part of the book didn't faze me.

(This one is in green because today is Friday, and green is the color I associate with Friday. But it's also fitting that I'm talking about money.)
