Death At Charity's Point
“I was barely aware of the tape recorder on the table in front of me. They questioned me closely, and when Rossi said, “Where were you last night?” it occurred to me that I was being regarded as some sort of suspect. Despite my legal training and clear conscience, I felt the muscles in the back of my neck twitch and tense.
“I watched some TV and went to bed,” I said.
“What time was that?”
“Ten. Ten-thirty, I guess.”
“Anybody with you?”
“I live alone. I told you.”
“Anyone call you on the phone la...st night?”
“No.”
“What’d you watch?”
For an instant my mind saw only fog. I squeezed my eyes shut. “The news,” I said. “The Channel 2 news. It’s on at ten.”
Shanley and Rossi were staring at me.
“You think I did something to Harvey Willard?”
Shanley grinned at me. “I doubt it, Mr. Coyne. Why? Did you?”
“Of course not.”
“Okay. You can go. I appreciate your cooperation. If anything comes up, we’ll want to know where to reach you.”
I gave him my business card, scratched my home address and phone number on the back, and walked out of the police station into the May sunshine.MoreLess
