The Crown Vic: What’s the Big Deal?
In Don’t Know Jack, we are introduced to Carlos Gaspar’s love of the Crown Vic — and Kim Otto’s disdain for it: “Gaspar picked a full sized sedan at the rental counter in Atlanta. A black Crown Vic. The kind of car Kim hated because it was too big, and too low to the ground. She’d have […]
Nashville’s New Teleportation Device
In Jack and Joe, FBI Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar fly to Nashville, Tennessee, then drive a Crown Vic to continue the Hunt for Jack Reacher. Planes and cars? How antiquated. Elsewhere in Nashville, there’s a golden box that’s capable of teleportation! Sort of… The big golden shipping container sits on the lawn of of […]
