Copp for Hire, a Joe Copp Thriller (Joe Copp Private Eye Series)
“Both parents work so Sandra is home alone; she recognizes me through the peephole in the door and is in- stantly terrified, but I quickly learn that it is not so much me that terrifies her as the mere fact that I am there.
I hear her gasp, "Oh my God," through the peephole.
So I tell her, "Simmer down, Tawney. We need to talk. Open the door." "Please go away. I'll talk to you at the police station." She thinks I'm a public cop.
"It's better we talk here," I in...sist. "But not like this. The whole neighborhood will hear us.
I can almost hear the agonizing on the other side of that door. Common sense prevails, though; I hear the bolt slide open and the door opens about six inches. She speaks to me through that slit, in a very shaky voice. "I guess you found Gil." "What was left of him, yeah," I say. "Let me in, Tawney." She opens the door all the way and steps away from it.
