OK, Tyrell.
From "The Sacketts:
Tyrell Sackett (To Orrin): "You know something, big brother? That yellow-haired, narrow-between-the-eyes gal is gonna be causing you a lot of trouble. She's pretty, and that can stop the best of men from thinking straight. Even you."
But I mostly like her too. Congress would be better off with a hundred like her.
I only read a couple Sackett books, but the Sackett that sticks in my mind, besides Tell of course, is Parmalee. He he had some flash to him. They were surrounding some bad guy with a bunch of Sacketts in that book, and Parmalee had traveled some distance to be there, as I remember it, out of familial respect for Tell.
A line I think of often, for some unknown reason that’s probably based in the chemistry of the human psyche, is something like: “ “Hello, Riley”, I said, as I collapsed to the ground.” I’m pretty sure Tell said that, but I don’t know where or when.
