Karin Slaughter Quote

First you must have the images. Then come the words. —Robert James Waller. Images. I had seen that word before—at least six times before on my annual reading sojourn to the sheriff’s office. The word was connected to a deed and the deed was connected to an act and that act had been committed by a man and that man, I now understood, was connected to you.
