Quotes

Sheriff Sam Carney: "Charles Roarke, Philadelphia. Indicted on three counts of murder. Frank Mulligan, out of New York, indicted on one count of murder. Questioned in relation to dozens of acts of violence that you don't want to hear about. Both men work for Carl Fogarty. That's the fella with the eye. He spent fifthteen years in prison on several counts of assault. He's suspected in half a dozen murders, and more disappearances."
