I suppose the jumping off point for inspiration in the titles was "The DaVinci Code". But it was a tried and true formula for Robert Ludlum as well, author of "The Bourne Identity". The one time he deviated from that formula, the book didn't do very well - "The Road To Gandolfo".
I could have sworn the name "Harlan Kane" had been used before in a fictional sense; it just has that feel. But a quick Google search shows a college student at Northeastern by that name. I hope he wasn't too stoned when that sketch started. (College kids still get stoned while watching 'Saturday Night Live', don't they? Or am I just projecting my mid-70's sensibilities on this?)

Hiya, real life Harlan Kane here. Just wanted to chime in and say that I was not stoned when this aired and I started getting bizarre Facebook messages about books I may have written, in case you were concerned.
Glad to hear it wasn't a mind-bending experience for you, Harlan! And welcome to Toobworld!
I had a similar experience back when I was 17, wiht a character named Toby O'Brien in an episode of 'Police Story' (played by Taylor Lacher). In both our cases, the name combination isn't that common, so it's a weird feeling. And the age difference may have been the same as with you and DeNiro......
Thanks for checking us out!
