One False Move: a Myron Bolitar Novel (2008)
“The big one and the skinny, older guy. The skinny guy wore long sleeves so Myron could not see if there was a snake tattoo, but the two looked right from Mabel Edwards’s description.
Myron felt something inside him start to simmer.
The big guy was show. Probably a wrestler in high school. Maybe a bouncer at a local bar. He thought he was tough; Myron knew that he would be no problem. The skinny, older guy was hardly a formidable physical specimen. He looked like an aged version of the puny guy ...who gets the sand kicked on him in the old Charles Atlas cartoon. But the face was so ferretlike, the eyes so beady that he made you pause. Myron knew better than to judge on appearance, but this guy’s face was simply too thin and too pointed and too cruel.
Myron spoke to the Skinny Ferret. “Can I see your tattoo?” Direct approach.
The big guy looked confused, but Skinny Ferret took it all in stride.
“I’m not used to guys using that line on me,” Skinny said.MoreLess
