First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

• Grab your current read(s).
• Share the first line(s).
• Include the title and author.

"Over the last three months, the SFPD homicide squad had been swamped by nightmarish murders of all types." ~ 23 1/2 Lies by James Patterson

"Delia Marquez rides shotgun in the armored truck, staring out the window as the scenery of Central Texas rolls by." ~ Fallen Ranger by James Patterson

"The sign towered above the horizontal suburb like a pagan shrine: a wide open, baleful eye perched atop a pyramid, reminiscent of the Masonic symbol on the obverse side of the dollar bill." ~ Watch Your Back by James Patterson
