Lively Game of Death
“Shivering a little, I turned up the collar of my topcoat.
It was just after three. Hilary wouldn’t spare me any time to talk; she wanted me to question the Saxon girl and try to track down Whelan as soon as I could.
I had a choice of assignments, but, from Chelsea, it’s reasonably easy to drive across the East River into Brooklyn Heights. I parked down the block from the Saxons’ apartment, which was in one of the older buildings overlooking the river promenade.
Any reluctance I’d felt that morn...ing to seeing Ruth Goetz was nothing compared to the way I wanted to avoid telling Penny Saxon the news of Lasker’s death.
She was the only one home in the softly carpeted, five-and-a-half-room apartment; her mother was out shopping on Montague Street. The girl knew I was coming, because her father had phoned—at Scott’s insistence—to tell her to expect the visit of a “private investigator” from Trim-Tram. But the reason for my visit was still a mystery to her, because her father had chickened out from telling her about Lasker.MoreLess
