    Only if you've finished it *SPOILERS*

    SPOILERS: I listed to the book on audio, so forgive me if I can't come up with the exact quote or context, but there was one point at which SK seemingly threw us an intentional misdirection. SK said something to the effect that "it would haunt Hodges for the rest of his life" in regards some...
