“Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience. I say them.”

The Tunnel - S.D Tooley
A reference to nepotism by the Mayor on behalf of his nephew.
'He would be the fall guy, especially as Kojak had the office of The Major watching his back.' Page 12
'Her hair standing on end like Methuselah's Snakes wasn't making a good impression.' Page 62
When I started this book I came across some errors and I thought, here we go, It,s going to be full of them and They're going to put me off, but hey I've stopped noticing them.
I've enjoyed both the books I've read by S.D Tooley, Nothing Else Matters and The Tunnel, I know every character has to have a quirk to make them stand out and it's hard to be original and not over the top.
Based on my reading experience Sam Casey seems to be a cross between Kevin Byrne from the Philidelphia, Richard Montanari books and Will Graham from Red Dragon by Thomas Harris.
There's a mixed bag as usual when it comes to the supporting cast.....
S.D. Tooley compares the character to Alison Dubois from Medium, I hadn't thought of that even though I have watched it.
