Peggy A. Edelheit
“My motto? Don’t trust someone who is just as cagey as yourself."
"What kind of detective are you?” “A lousy one and proud of it. I write, remember?”
She looked down at her hand & laughed. “Berretta doesn’t make lighters.” "Why I was a writer! My life revolved around fiction. I could make something up"
"She looked down at her hand & laughed. “Berretta doesn’t make lighters.”
"So they're not Tolstoy, they're a little shorter...Okay, okay a lot. Go ahead, read my mystery series anyway."
"A detective has their boundaries especially me. So mine shifted occasionally...okay a lot"
“Beat it, Buster. My temper and this mace have a hair trigger.”
“Interference could be lethal.” I got right up in his face, hissing, “Don’t push me, I’m hormonal.”
I'm not really a lousy detective, just rough around the edges.”
Peggy A. Edelheit

“But that’s the thing about dead people: they can’t warn you to keep your nose out of things that are going to put your ass in danger.”
LynDee Walker, Front Page Fatality
