Eddie Nero
- DCI Fred Thursday: [after Nero has survived an attempt on his life] Sounds like you had a close shave.
- Eddie Nero: I've had closer.
- DCI Fred Thursday: Cromwell Ames - can't have you pair shooting up the town like it was the Wild West. Someone's going to get hurt.
- Eddie Nero: I nearly got hurt.
- DS Jim Strange: Someone who matters.
- DCI Fred Thursday: [confronting the dying Eddie Nero in a room full of corpses] Drop the gun, Eddie.
- Eddie Nero: [pulling the trigger; it clicks empty] It's empty anyway.
- DCI Fred Thursday: Easy, Eddie. Don't talk.
- Eddie Nero: [making a great effort with his last breath] It... wasn't... me!
- [He dies, indicating, as he does, the hitherto-unseen dead body of George Fancy]
- DCI Fred Thursday: There's a reckoning to be made, but it's ours to make.
- Eddie Nero: Better get your skates on, then.
- DCI Fred Thursday: Don't get caught on the wrong side, Eddie. You're no good to your boy banged up - or worse. Coldwater must be a pricey touch.
- Eddie Nero: You leave Brett out of this!
- DCI Fred Thursday: For now. Mind how you go.
