Kill Fee (1985)
“"Big withdrawals, loans he's taken out, like that." Sergeant Eberhart looked puzzled. "We already did that." "We checked for the time around the Sussman killing and right before. I want to know what's been happening lately." "You got something?" "Maybe." Murtaugh told him about the story in Summit magazine and laughed at the you-gotta-be-kidding look on the Sergeant's face. "No-down-payment murder—outlandish notion, isn't it? But it's not as far-fetched as it sounds. You have to read the story...." He rummaged through the drawers of his desk, found the copy of the magazine he'd brought from home. "Here—read it when you get a chance. It's 'The Man from Porlock' by J. J. Kellerman." "Kellerman? Who's that?" "I think it's Leon Walsh. I got Ellie to compare the story to an editorial Walsh had written. She said it was possible both had been written by the same person, but there was nothing distinctive enough in either style to make it a certainty. So before we go charging in and accuse him of paying off a killer, I want to know if he's needed money recently, a lot of money.MoreLess
