"Humankind seems to have an enormous capacity for savagery, for brutality, for lack of empathy, for lack of compassion."

I have questioned myself about the brutality in the last few novels. Actually in The Leopard, in hindsight, I feel I went a little bit too far with screaming blood. There are a couple of scenes that I regret and wish I had the chance to rewrite. Phantom has less blood.
