Alpine Hero (2011)
“The suburb of Edmonds is just across the King-Snohomish county line, on Puget Sound. It’s a relatively quiet area, with spectacular views of the water and the Olympic Mountains. If I were a computer king, I might want to live there, too—at least until my multimillion-dollar house in the forest was completed.
Milo’s response to the obvious query of bringing Toby Popp in for questioning was ambivalent. He’d consider it, of course. He needed some grounds, other than a couple of phone calls. He’d n...ever heard of Toby Popp until the last few days. But what he’d learned made Toby sound like some kind of god who probably had about two dozen six-figure lawyers at his beck and call. Unfamiliar with the rich and semifamous, the sheriff didn’t know how such wealth and power would affect an investigation, but he figured to come out on the short end.
After that last remark, Vida excused herself to go to the ladies’ room to freshen up, as she put it. I didn’t just lean into Milo, I punched him in the arm.MoreLess
