Murder On Lexington Avenue (2010)
Murder On Lexington Avenue
“The first was an obnoxious fellow with corn yellow hair that he’d slicked back with too much pomade and who reeked of too much scent. His clothing was remarkably ugly, considering that the house he lived in was big enough to accommodate the entire New York City police force. Money apparently couldn’t buy good taste.
Frank had a little trouble convincing the servants to call young Master Armstrong Sterling to speak with him. He had to mention Leander Wooten by name, and only then did Armstrong r...eluctantly appear.
“What do the police care if Leander decided not to come home last night?” Sterling wanted to know.
“His father was murdered a few days ago,” Frank reminded him. “His family is very worried about him.”
“So I gathered when they sent the footman around looking for him. He wasn’t here. I told the boy so already. He never said a thing to me about going out last night either. Would’ve talked him out of it if he had. Bad form. Very bad form. One may flaunt convention in certain things, but not this.MoreLess
