Oliver Dean Spencer
Through his opened bedroom window, he noticed that the night sky had turned a crimson red. The moon, punctured by hues of cerulean blue, hung precariously over the withering willow trees that lined the riverbank, located several hundred yards away. The storm predicted by the forecasters was heading his way.
Oliver Dean Spencer, Call of the Nightingale

Richard Stark
Parker spent two weeks on the white sand beach at Biloxi, and on a white sandy bitch named Belle.
