The King of Thieves:
“Every man had his limit. That was what Pons privately believed. He was experienced in the use of torture as a regrettable, but necessary means of gaining answers in many investigations.

Still, he had some courage. Even when his nerve broke, it was not a complete submission.MoreLess
