""Research is the dirty little secretof novels that work," he said. "Readers
want to be amused and entertained, but they also want to learn something."

So he got a tour of the Statue of Liberty from the lead architect on the
statue's 80's refurbishment, videotaped the tour , and watched it while
writing his actions scenes at teh statue."
