Dead Dancing Women (2011)
“I stopped in the vestibule to look at Eugenia’s latest outlaw relative before entering. It didn’t do to let Eugenia think you ignored her genealogical charts—might get very cold soup for a week or so.
There were a couple of new sheets. One on a Harry Longabaugh, who’d fled the country with the law hot on his tail, and another one named Robert LeRoy Parker. The last name struck some kind of chord, but I figured Parker was a common enough name. Odd, I thought, how few of her relatives were na...med Fuller. I supposed they all came from the female side, lots of name changing. I leafed through the older charts to see if anything else rang a bell. Ned Christie, Pearl Bywater, Etta Place. Not a Fuller among them.

The restaurant was full, maybe it was the excitement in town or maybe because they were all hungry at the same time.MoreLess
