- Dedication
- For Peter, who i always thought was a real good-lookin' boy.
And for Kevin and Ian, who saved my life and gave me an answer. - First words
- Only a few minutes past ten o'clock at night and the sound of Black Sabbath's Paranoid album had just ceased and the phonograph arm pulled itself back from the turntable; a few seconds later, a moderate clicking sound ... (show all)signalled that the record player had shut itself off.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)"We'll finish later," Jace replied with a slight laugh. "We have all the time in the world for work. But coffee with friends is now."
