Nine Lives (2013)
“Six to Go.
I am cross. Someone has tried to steal my thunder. A guitar string is my signature. No one else’s. Anyway they caught him. He was tried and found guilty. He’s serving life. And serves him right. You don’t murder someone just for the kicks of it. You’ve got to have a pretty good reason. Good motivation. You have to be on a mission. Like me.
It’s been some time since my last sortie. Harry Winston and Angela Mayling are still on the back-burner and it looks as if they might stay there f...or a while. As usual, there were no witnesses and no fingerprints. As usual, patients have been questioned, in confidence, of course, but none of them seemed to have motive enough for murder. Was I lucky, I wondered. Or just very clever? Secretly, I believe that God is on my side. He knows that my mission is just.
I was ready for my next strike, and I wanted variation. I decided to alter my disguise radically. I would dress as a woman. It wouldn’t be the first time, but I’d never risked it abroad.MoreLess
