“The concept of “crime” implied that there was some authority greater than himself, who could set rules on morality, conduct, and legalities.  Kasos acknowledged nothing superior to himself.  If he desired to commit some act, then it wasn’t “criminal,” it was obviously the “right” thing to do.  His actions were the result of his choices, and thus, could in no way be viewed as “wrong.”  He was perfect.  Crime was impossible if you were perfect and in charge of all creation.  When YOU wrote the laws, you couldn’t POSSIBLY break them.”
― Elizabeth Gannon, The Son of Sun and Sand

“No, I’m not. Nestlé lobbied hard for that. The police never found the Health Deputy Minister’s body.”
I pulled away to look up at him. “Are you serious?”
“Absolutely. Peppermint Crisp is a very serious business, here.”
