Copp in Deep, a Joe Copp Thriller (Joe Copp Private Eye Series)
“Needed to look some people up, needed to do it quickly and efficiently, because I knew that time was running out and there was a long way to go—like a two- minute drill in football, starting at your own ten yard line. Problem with that allegory is that there were no yard markers and no chalk marks to show where I was actually starting from, and the stadium clock was out of order. I could've been starting from the one foot mark with only one second on the official clock.
I knew that I had to get out there and hustle, just the same, and try to make something happen. So if dreams have any meaning beyond their moment, I needed to go crashing through the bubbles of this very real cesspool and drag Toni onto the grass where I could look at her with a clear focus. If I am mixing my metaphors, so be it—I'm sure you get my meaning, even if I was a bit unsure of it myself at the time.
It had occurred to me that several common threads were holding this entire weave together. One of those threads... was marked PowerTron—and now the three top West Coast executives of the company were dead by violence.MoreLess
