In the Soup

Another crime writer who gives his sleuth the thought processes of a novelist.

"Cashin thought that he knew the answer, delivered to him by some process in the brain that endlessly sifted, sorted and shuffled things heard and read, seen and felt, bits and pieces with no obvious use, just clutter, litter, until the moment when two of them touched, spun and found each other, fitted like hands locking."
                     --Peter Temple, The Broken Shore (2007), p. 293.
