Quotes by Ward Larsen (?)

“and bathroom before”
― Ward Larsen, The Perfect Assassin

“As ever, fate traveled as a quiet companion.”
― Ward Larsen, Passenger 19

“Slaton heard nothing more than a pair of muffled thumps, sounds he recognized all too well—the lethal signature of high-velocity rounds striking center of mass in a human body. Her tall figure snapped forward and she crumpled to the ground.
Slaton instantly knew three things.
Astrid was dead.
There were two shooters.
And he was next.”
― Ward Larsen, Assassin's Silence
