Disturbance by Jan Burke
"no need to schedule an ass kicking for that remark. my wife is going to take care of that for you."
"even winning a brutal fight does not, it turns out, give a person a mental erase button. in fact, sometimes the replay goes haywire, and where you won in real life, imagination shows you a convincing picture of a different denouement. you pull the trigger and the gun doesnt fire. the garrote breaks in two. a corpse rises and grabs you by the throat. you are held down by someone younger and stronger, who is reaching between you, and nothing you do stops him. you wake or snap out of it, but not without moments of being unsure of the true outcome."
