Fox Tracks (2012)
“At 6:00 AM the mercury was already touching 32°F.
Dressed in a handsome navy blue with chalk pinstripe suit, Gray kissed Sister on the cheek. “You know it’s already bumper to bumper on Route 66 outside of D.C.”

“Eleven. Then lunch at the Press Club, which I truly enjoy.” He sighed. “I’ll be home Tuesday night.”
“Here.” She handed him a Tupperware container filled with pasta, just as he liked it. “In case you wi...nd up working late.”
“Thank you, sweetie. You make the best tortellini. Sure you’re not part Italian?”

Skilled at mathematical sleight of hand, accountants could bury profits, hiding them from other accountants’ scrutiny. Gray, well paid for his brilliance, kept a small condominium in a high-rise near D.C.’s Kennedy Center.MoreLess
