I have a friend who tells me that she was a neighbor of Elmore’s when she was growing up in Bloomfield Hills (or Birmingham or something like that). Her family name is O’Boyle and she says that Elmore has often used names of people he knew for characters in his books, that the character Jim O’Boyle in 52 Pickup got at least his surname from her father. Is there a pattern there? Is Elmore’s past littered with people named Ryan and Majestyk and Ritchie and so forth?
