M.F. Kelleher
“The previous night he was in an accident. Ran over a homeless guy. She listens to a man fabricating at least some of the things he’s telling her. The human frailty of lying.”
M.F. Kelleher, Olivia Streete and the Parisian Contract

“The courtroom is a battlefield and every truth has its casualties.”
Richard Herman
