Copp On Fire, a Joe Copp Thriller (Joe Copp, Private Eye Series)
“Maybe that was why it took me a couple of minutes to realize I had picked up a tail car at Franklin's. My first thought was a police tail, and I was reasonably certain it hadn't followed me up that hill because night had come while I was at the Wiseman place in San Marino and you do not drive the Glendale hills at night without lights.
Next thought was that the bodies of Forta and Rodriguez had been discovered at my place and now I was, again, on the want-list. It was a logical assumption . . . they had gone to my place with a search warrant, and it was past time that someone would begin to wonder what had become of them.
I tried to lose the tail. Didn't work through two switchback turns and a high-speed run along the Glendale Freeway. But nobody else joined in the chase, so I had to revise my reading as well as my response.
I left the freeway at Calle Verdugo and swung toward downtown Glendale with the tail intact, ducked into a small shopping center and parked in front of a liquor store.
