Philip Kerr
“The colonel stood up. “I hope you enjoy your trip to Uruguay. Its government is stable, democratic, and politically mature. There’s even a welfare state. Of course, the people are entirely European in origin. I believe they exterminated all the Indians. As a German, you should feel very much at home there.”
Philip Kerr, A Quiet Flame

“...Mrs. Percy understood that staying beautiful all day long is the most important aspect of being married...”
Tevin Hansen, Mummy Mouse
