Yep, "Lone Wolf" is another great novel. You know what ? one of the
best things about Findleys books were the recuring shadowrunner characters.
I dont know about you, but I (As both a GM and player) have sometimes
great trouble justifying why someone would run the shadows to myself.

I even have trouble picturing a certain character. Thats were characters
like good'ol Argent are really invaluable. You take a minute to think about
them (how they look like, their motivations etc.) and voila you got yourself
a solution.
