Let's make this birthday one to remember.

72 years old (Born on July 08, 1952)

Happy Birthday, Christopher G. Moore! Another year older and still expertly navigating the shadowy streets of Bangkok through Vincent Calvino’s sharp eyes—proving once again that age is just a number (and perhaps another intriguing plot twist). Your exotic detective tales continue to captivate readers worldwide; clearly, your literary smiles—from Killing to Bewitching and Haunting—haven’t lost their charm.

Here's wishing you endless inspiration for more thrilling mysteries ahead. May this birthday bring as many surprises as one of Calvino's cases—but hopefully fewer shady characters lurking around corners. Keep smiling mysteriously—you've certainly earned it!
