“The victories are sweet and soon forgotten, but the mistakes stay with you forever.” ― Steve Cavanagh, The Liar
“Hustling an insurance company was like playing poker with Satan—his house, his rules.” ― Steve Cavanagh, The Defence

“This was how it had to be. The city centre had to be for all religions, and so the ubiquitous, shinning, grey had quickly become the nascent colour. Whereas the the Ardoyne rejoced in the tricolours and every shade of green, so too the Shankill kept their houses and kerbs in the Union Jack, and each side of the divided city painted their gables and drenched themselves in the rich colours which formed their history, their protection, their identity, their, and they lived under the terrible weight that came with it. In Belfast, colour was joyful, territorial, and frightening. And so the heart of the city embraced a comforting blanket of grey.” ― Steve Cavanagh

“It’s hard to describe the truth. It has a weight. A density. It makes a sound when it drifts through your breastplate, hits your soul and then falls into your guts. You feel it. It haunts the air and it’s so thick and undeniable you almost feel like you can take a bite clean out of it. Mostly, you just know it when you hear it.” ― Steve Cavanagh, The Accomplice
“I asked questions for a living.” ― Steve Cavanagh, The Accomplice
“I like the lighting in here. It’s … atmospheric,” said Rudy. The lighting was so atmospheric I had to use the glare from my cell phone screen just to read the menu. It was in French. I decided to order whatever Rudy was having and be done with it. The place made me uncomfortable. I didn’t like ordering from a menu that refused to display prices beside the food. Not my kind of place.” ― Steve Cavanagh, Thirteen
