Fatal Flaw (2003)
Fatal Flaw
“That bastard, Skink, he knew. I could have brazened it out with denial after denial, but that wouldn’t have altered a thing. The truth was in his ugly puss. He knew. How was it possible? How? Why?

What the hell could they have had in common? But Skink knew, no doubt about it, and there was no telling the kind of hurt he could put on me with ...what he knew.

There is always a faint tinge of nausea after a heavy diner meal, as if the high heat of the griddle renders cheap grease into a mild emetic, but this was something different, something far richer and justly deserved.
What the hell was I doing? I had slept with my friend’s fiancée, I had taken evidence from the scene of her murder, and now I was defending her killer to the worst of my abilities.MoreLess
