โ€œIn the grownup world, James Salter is my lodestar. He doesnโ€™t lay coats over puddles, politically speaking, which is a kind of truth I appreciate. Sentence by sentence his work is exquisite, incomparable.โ€ โ€” Sarah Hall

The sharp mind of the detective noted that it was strange to have that sort of locking mechanism on the door to a realty office. "Maybe it came with the building," he thought. He surveyed the place. There was a surfeit of island themed decor. Tiki men, bamboo fencing panels along the walls. 'Tacky.'
