Lethal Practice (1998)
“Not surprising. I was relieved to see that Gil Fernandez had turned up. He was bathed, his beard trimmed, but still he seemed subdued. Even his pocket handkerchief was less puffed up than usual.
Sitting beside him was a uniformed policewoman with a stenographer’s pad in front of her. On the opposite side of the long table, but farther down, a second uniformed police officer, a pad also in front of him, sat between Bufort and Riley. A dozen legal-size file folders were stacked near Bufort, and t...wo open briefcases were on the floor near his chair.
I happened to sit by Watts. He leaned over and quipped, “If those are Kingsly’s financial records, it’ll be ruled justifiable homicide.”
Hurst stood, cleared his throat, and we were off.
“Though this special meeting of the chiefs of staff was requested by Detective Bufort, I want to remind you we are under police orders not to discuss the details of Mr. Kingsly’s murder. A sordid tragedy such as this is disruptive enough without the appalling sort of headlines we saw in yesterday’s paper.”MoreLess
