Hasn't been released yet, here's a little pre-release publicity:

Hitchhiker writing 'The Kindness of America' memoir shot by motorist in Montana - U.S. News

There's a moral, or two, in there somewhere. :sad:
Not a happy way to start a day -- for anybody.

I remember Peter Jenkins talking about some scary moments in the western part of the US in his book The Walk West. Unfortunately, there are always a few bad apples in every barrel.

Apparently Raymond doesn't read crime novels. If he had he would have known that this publicity stunt never would have worked. Mont. authorities say hitchhiker shot himself - Yahoo! News

Oh well, so much for delicious irony.
