Horse Spy (2013)
“Until she’d seen Stevie coming toward her and Lisa, she’d been totally focused on the training exercise she and Blue had been doing. But now she found herself staring at four cars. Black. Sedans. And then all those men. Carole knew the look. It was very distinct and it was very official. The men were all wearing dark suits and white shirts. They were either funeral directors—which seemed unlikely because funeral directors didn’t usually come in clusters—or government agents of some kind.
