Grave Undertaking (2011)
“The conversation with Claiborne had been a surprise. I had to remember his candor had been self-serving. But was that a problem if our interests were the same?
As to the interrogation by Ewbanks, at least I’d managed to avoid revealing any particulars of my conversation with Skeeter Gibson and to conceal Calhoun’s reason for buying him drinks. Mike the bartender would verify he had told me about Skeeter, but he knew nothing about why the two men hung out together.
A shot in the temple proved so...meone realized Skeeter was a danger. Perhaps his killer had stood outside the second door to the judge’s chamber, a door Ewbanks said provided an exit to a side hall where a judge wouldn’t come face to face with his docket when arriving. If so, that person had heard me question Skeeter and knew I posed a threat.
Was I being foolish not to bring Ewbanks into my confidence, or was Ewbanks involved and had pulled the trigger on his own cousin? Did Claiborne really believe there might be corruption in the Sheriff’s Department, or was he just trying to cover himself in case his own department was implicated?MoreLess
