Monument to the Dead (2013)
“Otherwise someone might wonder why an FBI agent kept dropping by every other day. I had resisted the urge to tie Marty to a chair so she wouldn’t disappear again. Instead, I caught Shelby before she left for the day and told her that Marty was in my office and to keep her there until James could talk to her.
James didn’t look happy. “Is something else wrong?” I asked as soon as I saw his face.
“No, not really. But each”—he looked quickly around to make sure he couldn’t be overheard—“inc...ident makes it look more and more like a serial killer, and there’s still nothing I can do. At least Marty’s all right. Did she tell you where she’d been?”
I gave him the elevator version on our way up to the third floor. Once I finished, I leaned against him, just a bit. He laid a hand on my shoulder. Neither of us said anything more, but this probably qualified as high passion within these stately walls.MoreLess
