“a new sin, a minor one, triggering an avalanche of repercussions from long buried and often more serious misdoings. Which just goes to show that nothing is ever lost, and the chickens do come home to roost”
Victor Thorpe, Dealers In Death

“I had learned a long time ago that there was no point at all in setting out to meet dragons and in the like on an empty stomach.”
Victor Thorpe, Dealers In Death

“When a criminal is rattled what does he do? He starts making mistakes.”
Victor Thorpe, Dealers In Death
