“As I was writing this book, I was walking on the beach one afternoon. I was looking out over this crystal clear ocean, and it was turquoise and beautiful. Then, suddenly, I saw a great agitation in the middle of the ocean – in the distance, but close enough that I could actually see that something was eating something else. And that is like this story– Everything is fine on the surface, and underneath, it’s all this carnage.” – Thomas Harris
