The Parsifal Mosaic (2011)
“There were two papers left, both afternoon editions of the Baltimore Sun. They took both, to see whether any photographs had been released that might alert someone inside the roadside restaurant. Shaving the negative odds was instinct.

“To tell you the truth, I’d like a drink, if they serve one here.”

“I haven’t even thought about eating.”
“That’s strange. Kohoutek said you wouldn’t eat last night, that you threw the tray at his Cuban.”
“A tray full of scraps. I ate; you always told me never to leave food when you’re in a bad situation. That you never know when you’ll get another meal.”
