On the Street Where You Live
“on Wednesday morning, the missing Joel Lake was found. He was in the process of burglarizing a house in Troy when the police arrived, summoned by the silent alarm.
Seven hours later, Marty Browski went to the jail where Lake was being detained to interview him.
“In your natural habitat again, I see, Joel. You never learn, do you?”
The permanent sneer on Joel Lake’s face hardened. “I do learn, Browski. I stay out of houses with old ladies in them. Too much trouble.”
“It could have been a lot mor...e trouble if Emily Graham hadn’t gotten you off on the murder charge. We all thought you did the hit on Ruth Koehler.”
“You thought I did it? You changed your mind?” Lake looked surprised.

Probably attractive to some women, though, in a cheap kind of macho way, with his powerful build, dark curly hair, narrow eyes, and full mouth.MoreLess
