Cat Magic
“There was no glib explanation for what had sickened it. The infection was hidden; it lurked behind the glowing windows of evening, drifted like smoke in the soft laughter of the night. Five years ago people had tolerated Constance Collier.
Now, because of the coming of a single man, they were being taught to hate her.
Mandy could not return to George’s house, and now for more than personal reasons. The thought of meeting Brother Pierce’s people prowling the night made her go cold. Betwe...en them and the basement room, there was no peace for her in her old home.
After she dropped George off at his lab, Mandy drove for a time, trying to calm down. Once the town’s beauty had also been its truth, but its bleaker comers, the impoverished houses along Bartlett, the run-down trailer park near Brother Pierce’s Tabernacle, seemed its greater reality now. Had the Grimm’s project not been of such importance to her career, she would have left right now, and forever.MoreLess
