“Fortune favors the bold, though statistics favor the cautious.”
Patrick Weekes, The Palace Job

“He uncoiled a length of fine leather tubing from his waist and tossed it down to Hessler, leaving the end attached to his waist. “Remember, one sharp tug means that you must feed me more tubing and shake the line, as it may have gotten caught, while two tugs means that I am stuck and need you to pull me back.” “How many tugs means that we should trigger the explosion?” Tern asked. Icy raised an eyebrow. “Me standing next to you, having extricated myself from the tunnel safely, and explicitly telling you to trigger the explosion is the only agreed-upon signal for you to trigger the explosion.”
Patrick Weekes, The Paladin Caper

“But— Why didn’t you say?”

“Secret agent. Secret.”
K.J. Charles, Think of England

“So how'd an academic end up walking a zombie through a palace on a heist job?”
Patrick Weekes, The Palace Job

Christopher Fowler
“Do you enjoy reading?’ ‘I enjoyed Fifty Shades of Grey.’ Bryant quailed at the thought. ‘That’s not really reading, is it? More like staring at an assortment of words.’ ‘It is very popular.’ ‘So is taking photographs of your dinner for Facebook, but that doesn’t mean it adds to the total sum of human knowledge.”
Christopher Fowler, Bryant & May and the Burning Man
