I’ve always been pretty much on the outside of any side you can find. - Terry Hayes

I know this woman. We all do—the type anyway. You see them in the huge new Prada store in Milan, queuing outside the clubs in Soho, sipping skinny lattes in the hot cafés on the Avenue Montaigne—young women who mistake People magazine for news and a Japanese symbol on their backs as a sign of rebellion.

If only—but it has been my unfortunate experience that you can’t rely on divine intervention and that fate favors the bad as often as the good.

I mean, there’s no better alibi than being dead, is there?
