“The card pocketed from Sylvia Dempsey’s purse is vellum, the message in blue ballpoint in a crabbed handwriting. Is J Jordan Wald? The chill of Dempsey’s cold stare lingers, so I’m wearing a sweater as I sit at the kitchen table where I’ve spread the miscellaneous bits from Sylvia’s purses. Technically, this is all the widower Bernard’s property. Would he have a ready guess about J’s identity? J for Jordan? The signature letter swings wide with a bold flourish. Perhaps Sylvia worked... on his campaign and contributed money and got this thank-you. Perhaps the doctor is also a supporter of Carney-Wald. If so, the card is more protocol than personal. Then again, it could signal deeper acquaintance. Suppose, however, the Dempseys were as politically split as their bedrooms.
