QUOTE : Evil. The word had lost its power through overuse. Now it just meant incomprehensible to the uncomprehending. Barrow wanted to explain the complexities of it, this language of suffering that he had learned at countless crime scenes and in too many interview rooms. The serial killer and the serial burglar shared far more than either would like to admit: the need that has to be fed until next time, the need that results in the suffering of others, the easy justifications. They shouldn't have left it unlocked. They shouldn't have gone down that alley. They shouldn't have been dressed like that. Barrow had heard it all, and he'd always smelled the sour smell of a failed human.
