“Police officers are among the most corrupt people that I have encountered in life.”
Steven Magee

“The two bodies lay in plain sight of the shuttered Salt Bingo Casino, though there are no witnesses other than a coyote and its jackrabbit prey. The two bodies lay still until the sun-cracked it is light over the Arizona desert like a sky egg.”
Jennifer Leeper, The Poison of War
