A Deadly Paradise (2009)
A Deadly Paradise
““Vaffanculo!” he uttered, just loud enough for the matron sitting across from him to overhear. She looked up from her magazine in surprise. “Scusi, Signora,” he said, “but I really needed that coffee.”
Another twenty minutes at least before the food trolley makes its return trip, Cenni thought mournfully, as he settled back into his seat and smiled again at the woman seated across from him. Milanese, he decided, judging from her clothes (expensive) and her expression (haughty). Husband is p...robably a fan of Milan, not cock of the walk this week, though, not after Juve scored the winning goal on Sunday in extra time, he thought vindictively. The woman smiled back and shyly looked away. He watched as she twisted her wedding band around her finger. Maybe he was wrong about her. Maybe she was just nervous. She probably needs a coffee as much as I do, he decided, and smiled in sympathy.
Another forward jerk and the train started up again, and this time it kept going.MoreLess
