Quote of the Day (Ross Macdonald, on a Dangerous Character)

"A tall man in a wide-brimmed black hat emerged from the dark room. He was as thin as death. His face had a coffin look, skin drawn over high sharp cheekbones, blue down-dragging mouth. His pale glistening eyes were on me, and so was his black gun.” ― American detective novelist Ross Macdonald (1915-1983), The Way Some People Die (1951)
