When my 2001 book The Logic of Steel came out it was highly anticipated as the first knife book based on extensive interviews of knifers and knifes.

David drove his father's car to school.

David is suspended, will face other penalties, and is under criminal investigation by the sheriff—who will hopefully pull out onto the interstate in front of an 18-wheeler driven by a jonesing meth-head before this is all over.
