““Hello?” Hastings said, “Hi, it’s me. Are you up?” “Yeah. I just got out of the shower. What’s up?” “I’ve got some time. I just wanted to see if you’d like to meet for a cup of coffee.” “You mean before work?” “Yeah, if you can.” It was a little after seven in the morning. Hastings knew that Carol usually set her alarm at 6:15 A.M. during the week. Her reading glasses were always by the bed. “I can,” she said. “I’ll see you in about fifteen minutes?” * * * Carol McGuire was an attorney whos...e primary clientele were criminals. She used to be a public defender, providing legal representation to those who could not afford an attorney. She was a good lawyer, tough and bright. When she met Hastings, they were both, so to speak, on the clock. He was trying to get information out of a witness while she was trying to protect the witness’s rights, and maybe something more. Voices were raised, fronts were presented, neither of them faking things or getting self-righteous.MoreLessRead More Read Less
