It was obvious that I’d have to deal with Rothmann, just as I’d have to put an end to Sara. If there was one thing I had learned in the U.S., it was the benefit of nailing your enemies before they nailed you.

That was as good a principle as any, though I wasn’t planning on passing it on to my son till he was a lot older.
I kissed Karen and we walked into the warmth.
