“He was often described as a short-arsed man. He had a peculiar build, like a lightweight wrestler with a stoop. When he walked, it was as if his bottom half was doing its best to keep up with his top half. His hair, clipped short, was a dazzling white. ...
He´d never had much success with whiskers, unless you counted eyebrows as whiskers. His had become so overgrown, it took strangers a while to make out his peculiar eyes. Even those who´d travelled ten times around the world had never seen such eyes. They were the bright green of well-lighted snooker-table felt, and they never failed to amuse him when they stared back from his mirror.”
The Rules
If you recognize the quotation, or if you think you are able to guess who wrote it, please post a comment. Just leave a hint, do not spoil the fun by giving too much away. The book will be reviewed on Friday.

I have no idea where the quote comes from, but I love it!
I am totally stuck, too!
Vanda: usually I select a quotation that hints at the plot, but this time the main character was what set the book apart - for me, at least.
Dorte - If I'm right, it's probably better if I send you my guess at lunch. ; )
Maxine: I might have forgotten it too if I had read it three years ago ;)
Margot: a sandwich by the river, or? ;)
Hmmm... I'm still trying to make out the writing on that beer bottle to figure out where we're headed.
Kelly: oh, you´d make a good detective. I suggest you try to google it ;D
Dorte, I have not read any books in this series yet, but they are on my wish list. Along with Cuba and North Korea .....
Jose: how fine of you to guess which series it is if you haven´t read any of them yet.
Your bottle of beer was very helpful Dorte.
Jose: thank you. I do my best to find suitable ´boxes´ - that is part of MY fun.
