Night Fell Clean And Cold In Dublin,

I Believe The Root Of All Evil Is Abuse Of Power.

I Hate The Term "mystery". That's Not What I Write. I Think The Scarpetta Novels Are Much More Character-driven Than An Average Puzzle Solver. Writing Should Be Like A Pane Of Glass - There's Another World On The Other Side And Your Vision Carries You There, But You're Not Aware Of Having Passed Through A Barrier To Get There.

I Don't Do Things That Are Illegal.

To Almost Die Is To Know That One Day You Will, And To Never Again Feel The Same About Anything.

I'm Always Surprised When Large Numbers Of People Buy My Books.
