Cat in the Dark
“As he came across the patio, something about his drawn look and the resigned set of his shoulders brought her down the ladder. Wiping her hands, she stepped to the open door.
Lieutenant Brennan had been up earlier looking for Mavity, but he wouldn’t tell her why. She’d told him to try Mavity’s cottage, that very likely Mavity had slept in, that she did that sometimes, that when she woke up she’d phone the apartments frantic and apologetic.
