Mark   Ellis
“It matters because if you tell us a lie, that undermines everything else you tell us.”
― Mark Ellis, A Death In Mayfair

Saralyn Richard
“Parrott, hate to disturb you on your day off. Need you to check out a death at the Campbell farm. Lots of important people at a weekend party. Looks like natural causes, but--"
“Okay, Chief. I’m on it.” Parrott shut down his computer and put on his heavy coat. He glanced back at Tonya’s picture before he stepped out and closed the door.”
― Saralyn Richard, Murder in the One Percent
