Book cover for The Book of Souls (Inspector McLean, #2)
McLean stared up at the clouds hanging in mackerel strips high above Salisbury Crags and shivered at the thought of impending winter. The concrete hulk of the station would swallow him into a world of artificial light and tinted windows ...more

“Catastrophe can be a course correction, you know?”
Xóchitl González, Anita de Monte Laughs Last

Nevada Barr
“Anna wondered what it was that was so alienating about cars. Somehow, more than any othter machine, they seemed to create a world of their own, a mobile pack-rat midden full of personal artifacts that utterly separated man from the natural environment he hurtled through.”
Nevada Barr, Ill Wind

Sue Grafton
“The last thing I need is the sheriff on my case. That's who I thought you were, as a matter of fact. They got women sheriffs these days, did you know that? Sherifettes."

"So I've heard."

"What about you?" she asked. "How'd you become a detective. That's a weird way to make a living, isn't it?"

She was becoming real chatty now that I was on my way out and I wondered if I might pump her for more information. She seemed eager to prolong the contact, like someone who's been cooped up too long with a pack of preschool kids.

"I sort of backed into detective work," I said, "but it beats selling shoes.”
Sue Grafton, B is for Burglar

Paul Monette
“Bernice sat in the chair by the window day after day, knitting a pearl-white sweater for Rog, a sweater she later admitted to me she didn't care if he ever wore or liked; she was knitting to keep him alive.”
Paul Monette, Borrowed Time: An AIDS Memoir

Sue Grafton
“Ann broke in. "I'm sorry, June. This is Kinsey Milhone. She's a private detective Pop hired to help us out."

"Private detective?" she said, with disbelief. "I didn't think there was a such a thing, except on television shows."

"Nice to meet you," I said. "I'm afraid the work we do isn't quite that thrilling."

"Well I hope not. All those gun battles and car chases? It's enough to make my blood run cold! It doesn't seem like a fit occupation for a nice girl."

"I'm not that nice," I said modestly.

She laughed, mistaking this for a joke.”
Sue Grafton, F is for Fugitive
