Detective fiction quote

2007-07-05

Since I’m working on Dirty Secrets, I’ve been collecting quotes from various detective stories to use in my manuscript. I’m a quote junkie, so why shouldn’t I share with my game audience?

But, if that’s the case, then why not share with you? So, from time to time, I’ll post up a quote that I’m using in Dirty Secrets.

Here’s the quote of the moment:

“That isn’t your real motivation. I know your type. You have a secret passion for justice. Why don’t you admit it?”
“I have a secret passion for mercy,” I said. “But justice is what keeps happening to people.” —The Goodbye Look, Ross MacDonald
