Isolation
“The air was crisp and his mind was crisp. Too often, that crispness was wasted on administrative chores while his deputies got to do the interesting work. Not today. There was an unsolved murder in Micco County and an unsolved break-in. When one considered that Liz Colton and Emma Everett were about the same age and that they had lived fairly close to one another, Emma’s intruder was more disturbing than a single broken window suggested. These things gave Rainey a good excuse to be personally i...nvolved, and he liked that.
The rumor mill said that both Sly Mantooth and Oscar Croft had been seen flirting with Liz not long before she died. Both of those men had spent time with Emma on the evening of her break-in. (Never mind that Emma hadn’t spoken back to Oscar as he lurked on the other side of the front door of a woman who hadn’t invited him to drop by.) It was possible that neither Oscar Croft nor Sylvester Mantooth would talk to him. He had no probable cause, so it wasn’t like he could arrest them, but maybe they’d talk anyway.MoreLess
