Bad blood Quote by John Sandford

“Got here half an hour ago and had a look, eyeballin' it," Sawyer said. "It's murder, all right. Tell you something else - the sun went down, and it's as dark as the inside of a horses's ass out here." "You're sure?" "Well, I've never actually been inside a horses's ass.” quote by John Sandford
