• If you ask any police officer what the worst part of the job is, they will always say breaking bad news to relatives, but this is not the truth. The worst part is staying in the room after you've broken the news, so that you're forced to be there when someone's life disintegrates around them. Some people say it doesn't bother them - such people are not to be trusted.

• El público en general tiene una visión deformada de la velocidad a la que avanza una investigación. Les gusta imaginar conversaciones tensas detrás de las persianas venecianas y detectives sin afeitar, pero de aspecto robusto, que trabajan con devoción hasta la botella y la ruptura matrimonial. La verdad es que al final del día, a menos que hayas generado algún tipo de pista, te vas a casa y sigues con las cosas importantes de la vida - como beber y dormir, y si tienes suerte, una relación con el género y la orientación sexual de tu elección.
