Murder Among the Owls (2012)
“prisoner. Thorpe was Ruth Grady’s prisoner, or he had been, and Rhodes couldn’t imagine a situation in which Ruth would let a prisoner escape. It just wasn’t like her to do that. She hadn’t been hurt, Hack said, but she hadn’t explained anything, either.
Rhodes parked in the hospital visitors’ lot and went inside through the front door. The scene in the combination lobby/waiting room was chaotic. The room was crammed with people—men, women, and children—most of them talking loudly and waving th...eir arms. The young receptionist behind the desk looked harried and helpless. A couple of Pink Ladies moved around the edges of the group. Both of them were red-faced and angry. Ruth was there, trying to calm everyone down and not succeeding.
It didn’t take Rhodes long to size things up. Most of the people in the room belonged to a single large extended family: the Browns.
