Dead Winter
“But I thought it might be Sylvie Szabo, returned early from her book promotion tour of the West Coast. Sylvie liked frozen pizza and the Red Sox, and she did exclaim wonderfully about the bass bugs and other flies that I liked to create.

“My name’s Cooper. Ernie Cooper.”
“Okay, Mr. Cooper. What’s on your mind?”
“Not on the phone.”
“Oh, Christ,” I muttered. “Call me at my office, then. My secretary will make an appointment for you.”
“No. I have to see you now. Tonight.”
“Sorry. Can’t make it.”MoreLess
