Is Laukkanen A Finnish Name?

It Looks Finnish With All the K's and N's and a U

Criminal Enterprise by Owen Laukkanen.  The cover stinks.  I usually ignore all cover jacket blurbs except this has one by Kirkus.  Kirkus is stingy about giving good reviews but had this, "Fans of crime thrillers shouldn’t miss this one or anything else with Laukkanen’s name on the cover. The writing is so crisp, the pages almost want to turn themselves. He’s a terrific storyteller."

I Saw The Movie

The Looking Glass War by Jon Le Carre.  8 CDs at 9 hours.  1965 and a novice spy is sent into the Eastern Bloc to find missiles.  The flick was released in 1969 and was pretty decent.  I cannot recall if I watched the flick on video or TV.  There is a scene in the film where the lackadaisical spy is being pushed by Anthony Hopkins's character to take things seriously.  Hopkins starts a fistfight with the spy get the guy to defend himself and escape.

You & I, Me & You by Mary Janice Davidson.  I did not want to use those ampersands in the title but I did anyway.  I am very adventurous.
