Outfoxed: An Andy Carpenter Mystery
“To make matters even worse, I’m the one he’s pissed at. Lawyers are scared to death of Hatchet, and those who have annoyed him have often never been heard from again. You might say that Hatchet is the legal version of Petrone.
But he’s got me in his crosshairs, and I knew it was coming. I deliberately antagonized him in order to help my client. I took a bullet for the team.
Hatchet has called the prosecutor, Norman Trell, and me into his chambers for a pretrial conference. I’m the target, but I...’m glad Trell is here. This way, he’ll be able to tell my loved ones what happened, and where my body is buried.
“So I was reading the newspaper this morning over coffee,” Hatchet says. “I like to read the paper; it’s the way I learn what evidence I am going to admit at trial.”
I don’t say anything; one of the anti-Hatchet techniques I have learned is not to volunteer anything, but rather simply to answer questions he asks. He hasn’t asked any yet. He will.
