Mr. Lucky (2007)
“Lucky 26 It was noon when Valentine heard the doorbell ring. He’d decided that renting the house in Slippery Rock was one of the stupidest things he’d ever done. Everyone knew exactly where to find him. The front door had warped from all the rain, and he had to jerk it open. On the stoop stood Sergeant Gaylord. He was in his uniform, hat in hand.
“Sergeant Gaylord. What a pleasant surprise.”
Gaylord shot him an unfriendly look. “I normally don’t work Sundays, but seeing as I’ve got three dead m...en lying in my morgue, I’m clocking extra hours. Mind if I come in?”
“What’s this about?”
“You, my friend.”
Valentine ushered him into the kitchen and offered him a chair. Then he brewed a fresh pot of coffee with the coffee-maker he’d found in the pantry. He’d never known a cop to refuse a cup of joe, and Gaylord did not let him down. Tempering the drink with several teaspoons of sugar, the sergeant took a sip and winced.
“That’s mighty strong. You a caffeine junkie?”MoreLess
