Jeffrey S.  Stephens
“Although botulism is one of the most toxic substances known to man, it does not work immediately on its victim. It attacks the nervous system, which takes some time.
“If she doesn’t survive this poisoning, if she suffers any permanent damage, I promise the two of you that you’re as good as dead. You can hire all the protection there is in the world, but I will get to you.”
Jeffrey S. Stephens, Enemies Among Us

Jeffrey S.  Stephens
“What could drive someone to that depth of depravity, taking the lives of men, women, and children he does not know and has no personal grudge against, just to make some deranged political or religious point?”
Jeffrey S. Stephens, Enemies Among Us
