Robert Crais Quote

She touched the dash again, watching her fingers move along the gentle lines. You always follow the money. She shook her head and made a little smile. I’ve been doing this for twelve years. I’ve prosecuted hundreds of cases, and I have learned that people do crime for only two reasons: sex and money. There are no other motives. What about power and revenge? That’s just sex and money under aliases. The tiny smile again. If you’re right, and if Jonathan Green is willing to break the law, then he’s doing it for sex or money.
