“He checked out his surrounding. More books. A drinking fountain. A poster showing a guy slam-dunking a basketball with one hand and holding a book in the other, urging kids to READ! Weird, thought Steve. How can he even see the hoop?

...

You see, Steven, Librarians are the most elite, best trained secret force in the United States of America. Probably in the world."

“I don’t make to-do lists, but if I did, today’s would have gone something like this: 1. get drunk, 2. get laid, 3. go surfing (not necessarily in that order.) Noticeably absent from the list: get arrested. And yet here I am, spending my eighteenth birthday with my back against the wall of the Colonel’s hunting cabin, two FBI agents prowling the dark with their guns drawn, both trying to get me to confess to the murder of my friend Preston DeWitt.”
― Paula Stokes, Liars, Inc.

“To the generations of Americans raised since World War 2, the identities of criminals such as Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, Baby Face Nelson, "Ma" Barker, John Dillenger, and Clyde Barrow are no more real than are Luke Skywalker and Indiana Jones. After decades spent in the washing machine of popular culture, their stories have been bled of all reality, to an extent that few Americans today know who these people actually were, much less that they all rose to national prominence at the same time. They were real.”
― Bryan Burrough, Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34

― Dean Koontz, Relentless

“This monograph by Special Agent Ken Lanning (1992) is merely a guide for those who may investigate this phenomenon, as the title indicates, and not a study. The author is a well known skeptic regarding cult and ritual abuse allegations and has consulted on a number of cases but to our knowledge has not personally investigated the majority of these cases, some of which have produced convictions. p179

“Suddenly, a spiral of lightning snaked across the frowning sky and struck Ray and Ilsa. In a spectacular flash, they vanished. An earth-shattering bang of thunder knocked over all the FBI agents. Ilsa’s file of genealogical records flew into the air. The thoroughly singed pages flew down the street, twisting in the frantic breeze. The bullhorn fell from the limp fingers of Agent Schweppes’ hand. The rain began to fall like bullets.”
― James Allen Moseley, The Duke of D.C.: The American Dream

“Something was in her mouth. Sami's tongue slid along the edges of something plastic. Flat, low ridges, holes-an adjustable strap. A baseball cap?

Another taste. Hair spray. Gross.

Someone had stuffed her baseball cap in her mouth, and from the feel of it they had taped it in place. Her arms were tied behind her and she lay face down on the floor-of what? Her car. The carpeting scraped her cheek every time they hit a bump.

Panic flooded Sami's senses. She came instantly awake. Inhaling deeply through her nose, she willed herself to calm down. Her working motto flashed through her brain, panic never accomplished anything. Of course she had never been kidnapped and tied up before.

In the dim light of passing cars, she glimpsed things-paper gum wrappers, an old straw, one whopper wrapper, a CD cover.

That's where Sting went. Been looking for that for days. Man did she need to vacuum this car out.

A metallic scent hit her nose. She'd recognize that smell until the day she died. Blood. And by the odor, someone had lost a great deal of it.”
― Suzanne Ferrell, Kidnapped

“Sometimes the old-age serenity thing is crap.”
― Becky Masterman, We Were Killers Once

“Walt Disney, because of his fervent anticommunism, developed a cordial relationship with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and its director, J. Edgar Hoover. Herbert Mitgang goes so far as to argue that 'from 1940 until his death in 1966 [Walt Disney served] as a secret informer for the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”
― Henry A. Giroux, The Mouse that Roared: Disney and the End of Innocence

“If a police officer is messing me around on federal property, I will place a 911 call requesting the FBI.”

“Villalobos had always been eager to work in law enforcement. When he was in high school, he assembled a group of boys from all grade levels and invited them to his house every Wednesday. Villalobos’ club revolved around hunting down fugitives on the F.B.I.’s Most Wanted list. He led weekly research presentations that narrowed the list down to felons who were suspected to be within fifty miles of their vicinity. Villalobos held exams for his club members, testing their knowledge on how to react if they caught a criminal. He also trained them to identify what the criminals looked like with certain disguises and how to predict their next crimes and behaviors. All the boys were into it. And they trusted their leader. The amateur intelligence squad never caught any top criminals but inadvertently located the whereabouts of several robbers and proudly shared their intel with their local police station.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost

“One of the many lessons she’d been taught at Quantico was to live by her training, to do what was known to work for a thousand times a thousand other lawmen, but also to recognize when by-the-book would result in a eulogy and a postmortem commendation, and then to trust the intuition that was truer than anything learned.”
― Dean Koontz, The Silent Corner

“The FBI is a black box, you file a report to them and you never hear back. You hope that they do a reasonable job on investigating your report.”

“In the decade since 9/11, the FBI has built the largest network of spies ever to exist in the United States—with ten times as many informants on the streets today as there were during the infamous Cointelpro operations under FBI director J. Edgar Hoover—with the majority of these spies focused on ferreting out terrorism in Muslim communities.”
― Trevor Aaronson, The Terror Factory: Inside the FBI's Manufactured War on Terrorism

“Because I love you. I think I’ve always loved you, from that very first morning in the auditorium, when you stood up and inspired our whole class with your speech. You amazed me every day at the Academy, and now that we’ve reconnected—and you’re actually being nice to me for a change. Those feelings have only gotten stronger.”
― Julie James, The Thing About Love

“Kid, every murder is like an onion. It's got layers to it. The closer you get to the center, the more you want to cry.”
― Ava Strong, Twisted Truth

“Is that.." I swallow as my entire body begins fizzing. "Is that them?"
"Yes," Toby says. "Or no. That's a very vague question, Harriet. They wouldn't let you into the FBI with that kind of approach. I've checked."
"One day," Nat says, sighing, returning from the office, "you're going to answer a question like a normal person, Toby, and we'll all pass out from shock.”
― Holly Smale, Picture Perfect

“He said he would be willing to meet with any group, white or black, if they are willing and are honestly sincere in trying to find the problem and present a solution to the racial problem. He said the lack of education for the white as well as the black is one of the causes for the social problem in the United States. He said education will replace deficiency in the Negro and deficiency in the white person. Negro leaders have to accept the fact that there are problems between the white and black people and they must be sincere in trying to obtain a solution to their problems.”
― Clayborne Carson, Malcolm X: The FBI File

“In a few instances, security informants in the New Left got carried away during a demonstration, assaulted police, etc.,” the FBI admitted in an internal report, but this was a gross understatement. FBI-supervised informants in Seattle also built bombs and provided them to anti-war activists.”
― Sean Howe, Agents of Chaos: Thomas King Forçade, High Times, and the Paranoid End of the 1970s

“I wasn't used to seeing a lone wolf. I could've sword the FBI sent them out in identical pairs. This one even have that generic look about him, like God had rolled a lot of him off a belt thirty years ago, got 'em to quality control, gave 'em one good once over and said, 'Eh, good enough for government work.”
― K.M. Mayville, A Cult of Questionable Motives

“Often, I’d found that local law enforcement was not particularly thrilled to have us consulting on a case. Either they were wary of the Bureau’s reputation for moving in and then claiming all the credit because they wanted to control the investigation on their own, or they were worried our analysis wouldn’t conform with the theory both the police and the community had firmly in mind.”
― John E. Douglas, When a Killer Calls
