A Fine Line
“Sat down. Lit a cigarette.
I looked at the cell phone. It was about the size of a halfempty pack of cigarettes. Its green eye kept winking at me. I wanted to poke it with a stick.
This was the phone that the voice had used to call me about the fires he was going to set. The phone he’d taken from Walt Duffy when he killed him.
His threat had been unmistakable. He’d murdered Walt Duffy and Ben Frye, not even to mention burned down at least two buildings. He was connected, unquestionably, to the S...potted Owl Liberation Front which, if this voice on the phone was to be believed, were not just a bunch of wayward, idealistic eco-freaks who thought they were the second coming of the Boston Tea Party.
I figured I had better take him seriously. But I had no idea what he wanted from me.
My first impulse, as a law-abiding citizen, a member of the bar, and a dutiful officer of the court—not to mention a man who’d been interrogated at length by an FBI agent and had promised to cooperate with her—was to call Roger Horowitz and turn the cell phone and the envelope it came in and the entire problem over to him.MoreLess
