Harlan Coben Quote

It was scary, she said. Win was scary. He also saved your life. Yes. It’s what Win does. He’s good at it—the best I’ve ever seen. Everything with him is black and white. He has no moral ambiguities. If you cross the line, there is no reprieve, no mercy, no chance to talk your way out of it. You’re dead. Period. Those men came to harm you. Win wasn’t interested in rehabilitating them. They made their choice. The moment they entered your apartment they were doomed. It sounds like the theory of massive retaliation, she said. You kill one of ours, we kill ten of yours. Colder, Myron said. Win’s not interested in teaching a lesson. He sees it as extermination. They’re no more than pestering fleas to him.
