Before She Dies (2011)
“The owner of the Broken Spur Saloon and Trading Post was no charmer in the first place. Quick-tempered, beady-eyed, his saloon was his own private hot rock under which he lurked.
And as Sergeant Bob Torrez had discovered in days past, Sánchez evidently felt he was the target of cops who had nothing better to do than harass an honest business man. I was certain that Sánchez had sold his share of liquor to intoxicated customers over the years. And I was sure that he didn’t check IDs as closely as... he could have. But I went into his saloon that evening just as sure as I could be that he had nothing to do with the murder of Paul Enciños and the wounding of Linda Real.
I didn’t know what Estelle had in mind. She probably could have earned a good living as a high-stakes poker player with her inscrutable face. She’d tell me what she was thinking in her own good time—I’d learned that over the years.
Neither Estelle nor I had had the chance to talk with Victor Sánchez since the incident.MoreLess
