Ed Duncan and 1 other person liked Kate's review of Pigeon-Blood Red (Thrilogy): "3.5 stars. I received a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Quotes by Ed Duncan (?)

“A job is a job. It's not who you are”
― Ed Duncan, Pigeon-Blood Red

“There was something both unreal and unseemly about a grown man, with a law degree to boot, fighting in the street with two teenagers, But this is what it had come to.”
― Ed Duncan, The Last Straw

“Counselor, you and I are alike in some small ways. I like words and I like jazz, for instance, and tonight I found out we both like the same kind of food. I think we both keep our word and we both pay our debts. But I'm sure none of those similarities are what make Evelyn here a little nervous." He turned to her and this time a hint of a smile played at the corners of his mouth. "Evelyn, all I can say is I am what I am. I make no excuses. But that's me, not him.”
― Ed Duncan, Rico Stays
