Hi, Bob, thanks for the information. I'm wondering if Mr. Kendrick knew
anything about blind people. I wonder just how realistic that series
might be. Incidentally, Ernest Bramah made up a blind detective called
Max Carrados, but I don't think that was very realistic either. I'm
wondering how likely it is for a blind person to be able to be hired on
as a detective in the police? Don't they have to go on patrol first,
then take exams to be promoted to detective? Well one thing's for sure,
he/she should know how to use a computer to write up reports. Come to
think of it, I think it would be great if there were in actuality blind
detectives working along with everyone else. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Hello.
Go to http://www.bookshare.org/browse/author?key=Baynard%20Kendrick
for a list of Baynard Kendreck books on bookshare.
This is a very old detective series about a blind captain of homicide. I
read a couple of them when I was a kid (that's how old they are) and
really
liked them then.
Think I'll go check out a couple more.
Thanks for reminding me Shelley.
Bob.
