Dead in the Water (Rebecca Schwartz Mystery #4) (The Rebecca Schwartz Series)
“Much as I hated to admit it, I thought Esperanza’s nightmarish theory had a lot of merit. Sadie might have been killed for the pearl. She must have had it with her when she went to the roof, perhaps planning to show it to Julio.
But maybe it wasn’t true. I’d made a promise to Esperanza, and it was time to try to keep it. Both Marty and Ricky seemed to be off the hook, but Esperanza was still my client. That was the way with pro bono work—it always took longer than the paying jobs and was usuall...y more difficult. I walked for forty-five minutes, working off my coffee buzz, just as Ricky (I hoped) was sleeping off his champagne one.
Then I consulted a phone book, made a call, and hung up when a man answered; a man with a familiar voice. Don was home.
The listed address was the one for Sadie Swedlow, the love nest where she’d lured Marty’s husband and where she entertained her children on weekends. I was sure Marty looked at it that way—as a usurpation of her possessions, of her children as well as her husband.MoreLess
