Mystery – February 23

“When I was reporting crime . . . I never had the sense of clockwork conspiracies, or some kind of imposing order of evil. What I sensed was things just sort of falling apart. That’s my sense of how crime works, that it’s not any kind of calculated evil driven by the devil, but just control disintegrating. Things fall apart and happen out of stupidity and carelessness.”
– John Sanford, who also is Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Roswell Camp, born this date in 1944.

Writing prompt: Describe your protagonist’s sense of crime.
