Justifiable Risk (2011)
“She hadn’t spoken with Greer or Tom in two days. At this point, neither of them seemed sincere about helping her. Another search of Paul’s BlackBerry and wallet and a round of casual questions in town turned up no solid leads.
She hit the usual hotbeds of gossip in a small town: the diner, post office, quick-stop market, and the hair salon. Folks eagerly chatted about any topic she chose, as long as she kept it “confidential.” According to local opinion, the New Hope Police Department was the b...est if you were on the right side of the law and the worst if you weren’t. That was how it should be. Chief Bryant got high marks for running an honest force with limited resources. When Greer’s name came up, the comments usually echoed Tom’s: loyal, committed, honest, but nothing personal. In a town that loved to gossip, people remained tight-lipped on the subject of Greer Ellis the person. For a reporter that spelled story.
By midmorning Eva’s patience had run out. She’d promised Greer time to go through the investigation, but she refused to wait any longer.MoreLess
