If an adverb became a character in one of my books, I’d have it shot. Immediately.

Lightning
Evil doesn’t die. It never dies. It just takes on a new face, a new name. Just because we’ve been touched by it once, it doesn’t mean we’re immune to ever being hurt again. Lightning can strike twice.
― Tess Gerritsen, The Surgeon
Forgotten
You don’t have to die…
You don’t need demons
“I know there’s evil in the world, and there always has been. But you don’t need to believe in Satan or demons to explain it. Human beings are perfectly capable of evil all by themselves.”
― Tess Gerritsen, The Mephisto Club

Looking into the Abyss
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when you look into the darkness of the abyss the abyss looks into you. Probably no other line or thought more inspires or informs my work.
– Michael Connelly
A Quality of Redemption
I’m a disciple of Raymond Chandler, who said in his essays that there’s a quality of redemption in anything that can be called art.
– Michael Connelly
