Diamond in the Buff
“She had been on the Avenue, doing feet, when the branch fell, she said, and up in Humboldt at a party with Cypress last night. Both alibis could be checked. Both could be faked. Neither meant anything.
Hallstead, the Humboldt County sheriff’s deputy who had brought Sandoval down here, was talking about the new drug laws and conspiracy. There was no way Sandoval would be traveling outside of custody for a while.
Whereas Bev Zagoya could be going anywhere any moment if I didn’t get her now. I tho...ught about that expensive new Swiss watch that she said she had given Kris Mouskavachi, and what that interchange told me. Bev Zagoya had a lot to explain.
I signed out a patrol car and drove back past the few browsers who braved the thickening fog on Telegraph.
At Diamond’s house the fog was dense. And no one was home. I looked over toward San Francisco. By now the entire city was hidden and only the top of Treasure Island was still poking through the gray ooze.
I called into the dispatcher and left word for Hallstead to meet me to search Leila Sandoval’s house.MoreLess
