Every so often I get the desire to read some mind-numbing pulp fiction for a change. This time I picked up Terminal Freeze, by Lincoln Child. I had never read anything of his so I thought it worth a try.
The general premise is that a team of researchers discovers an ancient cat-like animal embedded in the northern ice. The block of ice containing the animal is cut out and stored in a locked wooden vault, to be shipped south. The cat is stolen from the vault by way of a hole cut in the bottom of the container. One of the researchers determines that the hole was cut from the inside and not the outside, leading to this dialogue:
Marshall glanced at Faraday. “You know what this means?”
Faraday nodded. “It means whoever stole the cat knew the combination to the vault.”
Child must be an Unger fan.

Thank you Emilio.
Surely it must have turned out to be Shroedinger's Cat?
