“On some level, Claus was one himself, as was Dieter. The prey was different for each, but the end results were much the same. Whereas Deiter and Claus’ end game had been for wealth and position, so as never to return to the slums from which they clawed their way out, Claus couldn’t begin to guess at Nadir’s. Swathed in old-world respectability, elegance and good looks as he was, there was nothing behind the man’s pale green eyes that would suggest he had a soul. Not much could unnerve Claus, bu...t Nadir was one of very few things on earth that made him uncomfortable. Whereas Claus had mastered the art of suppressing emotion, he seriously doubted Nadir ever had any. Looking at the man was kind of like looking at an animated dead man.
