Peter Grant 1-3 by Ben Aaronovitch

– I find it helpful to quote the wisdom of my father who once told me, ‘Who knows why the fuck anything happens?’

– Every male driver in the world thinks they’re an excellent driver. Every copper who’s ever had to pick an eyeball out of a puddle knows that most of them are kidding themselves. –

– For a terrifying moment I thought he was going to hug me, but fortunately we both remembered we were English just in time. Still, it was a close call. –

– ‘Do you think this is funny?’…’Do you find the murder of American citizens funny?’
