• It was cold and windy, scarcely the day to take a walk on that long beach Everything was withdrawn as far as possible, indrawn: the tide far out, the ocean shrunken, seabirds in ones or twos. The rackety, icy, offshore wind numbed our faces on one side; disrupted the formation of a lone flight of Canada geese; and blew back the low, inaudible rollers in upright, steely mist.

• A single raised eyebrow. "You've defected, sweetheart. No use worrying about the big, bad wolf now." She was aware of Judd speaking, but her attention never shifted off the man who was a predator, for all that he wore human skin. When he peeled open and held out a bar of some kind, she took it, aware low energy levels could be dangerous when it came to her ability to keep a handle on the cold fire. "Thank you." A faint smile, a strange amusement in those icy eyes. "You're welcome." It was the most polite interaction they'd ever had.

• Tienes este mundo, estos patólogos que están, día tras día, desmontando cuerpos, elaborando teorías sobre cómo murieron y cómo servir mejor a la comunidad. Al mismo tiempo, estas personas tienen vidas fuera y familias, y mi personaje en particular tiene una prometida y las cosas le van bien, así que tienes que mostrar ese lado cálido y compasivo al mismo tiempo que la fría frialdad de un médico. No sólo eso, sino un médico que tiene un poco de complejo de Dios y empieza a matar gente por deporte.

  Pero el susurro y el balanceo de un ala poderosa
  La prisión parecía llenarse,
  Porque el Señor de la Muerte con aliento helado
  Había entrado a matar.
