Diamond Head (2011)
“All I’d managed to deduce so far was that “CAT” was Carter Allen Thompson’s initials.
I’d already visited CAT’s floor twice and found the entire floor locked off the elevator. For the past twenty minutes I’d entertained myself in the open-air pastry shop with a morning paper, a cup of coffee and a bear claw. The paper told me things I didn’t want to know about people for whom I cared little or nothing. Someone in the Middle East had done something unforgivable. Congress had done something unprintable. The president had done something unpardonable. A hurricane was thrashing Guam and a tropical storm was forming off the coast of South America, gaining strength as it pushed its way into the Pacific. It wasn’t a problem yet, but it was causing concern to the local weather people who were paid to be concerned about such things.
I was dressed in my best Hawaiian business sincere, in a raw silk sport coat, a white Oxford-cloth shirt with an open collar and tropical-weight wool trousers.
