Ambition, Inspector. The eighth deadly sin. But ambition is the worst of them all; in our modern world, we couch it in reverence and convince ourselves that without it our lives are wasted.’
A few amazing and memorable lines in the novel, this being one of them. How many people have sacrificed family and health for ambition, only to discover that others with similar ambitions are willing to knock them off the pinnacle they strived so hard to climb? And discover they are so quickly forgotten and left to wallow in the mud of their lives?
