Stolen Prey Quotes

“Somewhere along the line, it occurred to him that he hadn't spoken to Virgil Flowers. He'd probably taken the day off, and knowing Flowers, he'd done it in a boat.

They all came up like portraits and landscapes hanging on the wall of his memory, flashes of color in the black-and-white night.”
