Murder Plays House (2005)
“I’d called Peter and asked him to pick Ruby up from school, and had found out that Isaac’s stomach flu had returned with a vengeance. I hated the idea of Peter taking him out, even just to do a carpool run, but not even Al could convince the detective that I was needed at home. In fact, he didn’t intimidate the supervising detective anywhere near as much as the diminutive Nahid Lahidji did. It was Kat’s mother-in-law who got us sprung. After she had engaged in a conversation with the detective ...in which she’d asked as many questions as she’d answered, she turned to me.
“Business card,” she snapped.
“Excuse me?” I said. By then I’d become as silent as Kat.
“Give me your business card. And your driver’s license, too.”
I proffered the requested documents wordlessly.
“Katayoun!” she said. Kat roused herself, reached into her purse, and handed Nahid her wallet. The older woman rummaged through it, tsking at the jumble of cards and bills until she found Kat’s driver’s license.MoreLess
