The Hook

"When the doorbell rings at 3 in the morning it's never good news...He went to his door and opened it. He could hear the two police men talking down the hall, but only a few words, reached him...a car accident...called ambulance...intensive care...nothing we can do...so sorry." (Pages 1 and 2)

"Alex lowered himself onto the ledge outside Crawley's office. He took a deep breath and jumped...'I told you the boy is extraordinary!' No, the boy;s quite mad'... So many questions, Crawley muttered.''But Im afraid i'm not authorized to give you the answers.'The second man lifted his hand he stood up behind the desk,holding the file as if to protect him. 'No'.... he began. The man fired. There was no explosion. His hands opened, and the file fell to the ground, his legs buckled and he fell back into nothing." (pg. 29 and 31)

"Alex saw it the moment he opened his eyes. It would have been obvious to anyone who slept in the bed, but,of course, nobody had slept there since Ian Rider had been killed.... There wasn't very much of it, but Alex recognized Ian Rider's handwriting.what did it mean?"(pg.83)

"Someone had dilberatley led him away from the wrong path and brought him here.
To the killing field....
He hit the ground and rolled to one side. The vehicle burst through the grass, it's front wheel just inches away from his head. Alex caught a glimpse of a squat black thing with four fat tires, a cross between a minature tractor and a motorbike." What will he do next?(pg. 112)

"Alex gave up trying to break free from the chair. His wrists were bruised and bloody where the chain cut into him,but the cuffs were too tight...'We don't have much time.' 'I am here to help you.' I worked with your uncle- Herr Rider.' Yes I am on the same side as you.' Alex was still suspicious. If Nadia Vole had known so much why hadn't she stopped him before...
(pg.157 and 158)

"Out of the corner of his eye; he saw her press down on the statue's arm. The arm moved...a lever.By the time he knew he had been tricked. It was too late. (pg.157)
