Jeffery Deaver Quote

In a matter-of-fact voice, she said to me, Have you found out anything more than that? She glanced toward the documents, which said nothing directly about her job. Only that you were with the Sickle project. My associate’s good but she couldn’t get much more than that. Your archives’re locked pretty tight. As for active files—if the group is still active . . . She said nothing. If it’s still active, she didn’t find anything on record. Though the nickname of the group was anglicized to the name of the farm implement, in fact it came from the Israeli Defense Force’s name for assassination—in Hebrew, sikul memukad, which means focused foiling.
