“I want to lean out the window to breathe in the green of the leafy tunnels above our heads. I resist, however, because I’m not a golden retriever.”

“Your future contains dry bones. Your slow demise begins right when you hold the queen in the palm of one hand. Beware the bird, for it will betray you. And from that, there’s no coming back. But daughters are the key to justice, find the right one and keep her close. All signs point toward your murder.”
