Quotes by Damien Boyd (?)

“Then he watched Tam disappear through a gap in the hedge and sprint off across the field. Lock keeper on your tail again, is it?”
― Damien Boyd, Dead Lock

“sceptical, to be honest, but Pearson said he might be of some use and managed to persuade the SIO at the time.”
― Damien Boyd, Heads or Tails

“Very few people had understood his decision to leave the Metropolitan Police and join the Avon and Somerset force but Nick Dixon had never regretted it for a minute. Walking along the base of the cliffs at Brean Down on a gloriously sunny morning in early autumn, he was reminded more than ever that it had been the right decision. There was not a soul around, the tide was out and the wet sand glistened in the low morning sun.”
― Damien Boyd, As The Crow Flies
