"You're a private detective."

-Dann McDorman, West Heart Kill

"The writer of murder, like all writers, must be a miser, conceding revelations bit by bit; for every novel is a puzzle, and every reader a sleuth."

-Dann McDorman, West Heart Kill

"People hunger for epiphany, you think, they clamor for it, but given a chance, who among us would actually recognize it? Or, having seen it, would choose to act?"

-Dann McDorman, West Heart Kill

"This is, you reflect, one of the consolations of the genre: any respectable practitioner must follow the rules in making the truth–however skillfully camouflaged by lies–accessible to all."

-Dann McDorman, West Heart Kill
