Never Flinch (Holly Gibney, #4)

by Stephen King

“Talk to your friend.” “Who? Holly?” “Who else? She’s not police, but she thinks around corners sometimes. Fill her in, then ask if she has any ideas.” “You’re serious?” He sighs and says, “As a heart attack.”

“First the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, and then the drink takes the man.”

Money talks, truth walks.”
