Holding Court
““There’s no way they actually think I have some kind of jewelry forgery scam going, right?” I ask Hank once the officers are gone. “Because that’s ridiculous.”
“I would agree, Mistress Verity.”
“But I really did see a dead body.”

“Somehow I don’t think you mean that as a compliment. Your Majesty—Mr. Bacon—I hope you know there’s no way I’d make something like this up. It w...ould obviously be pretty bad for your business if people heard you had dead bodies lying around the place.”
“Indeed it would. But if there is a dead body, and if someone purposely drove you off the road last night, then seeing that justice is served matters a great deal more to me than my bottom line.”
“Did the police even look for Sarah’s body?”MoreLess
