All these novelists

I know that there is a saying that everyone has a book in him. Some actually have more than one, as a man just boasted about needing glasses after publishing his third novel.  I need glasses too, but not due to my writing a novel.

I read the saddest story on mailonline which is a publication from the U.K.  It told of Canadian women who are being ignored when missing.  These women are apparently native Indians who are not of any value, according to the story. The Canadian Mounties are coming under criticism due to the lack of attention given to these women.  There is a road that these women use to walk from place to place, and at least sixteen or seventeen in the past months have been reported missing. 

I think that that story would make a great novel if some detective type writer would want to take it on.  Patricia Cornwall loves to write murder mysteries but hers are all located on the eastern coast of te USA.  I am wondering at what kind of murderous personality it is who seeks these women out when they are so vulnerable.  The article told of a man who had treated these women like pigs and had taken them home to slaughter.  He was discovered. Gruesome, but the beginning of the truth about how little attention was given to any of these women.
