Echoes of Lies (2012)
“When understanding dawned she was disgusted with herself. She didn’t drive like this when she had Paddy in the car, but she treated half a million pounds on her front seat as if it were cut glass. Shame-faced, she picked up speed and followed the setting sun.
She had no idea how far they would want her to go. She might be driving all night to a rendezvous in Cornwall: there was simply no knowing. For ten minutes she glanced at the phone as often as she checked her mirror, willing it to ring. Bu...t it didn’t, and gradually she accepted that it was going to take longer than that.
The Shore Road began to veer inland. She passed the signs for Bognor, Selsey and Chichester. She checked the mirror repeatedly, but if anyone was following her they were doing it well. The phone stayed resolutely silent.
When it finally rang, somewhere between Chichester and Hayling Island, Brodie jumped so hard she hit the seatbelt.
She let it ring while she pulled over. It was in no one’s interests that she wreck the car at this point.MoreLess
