Pies And Prejudice (2012)
“The shock of Annie’s death combined with their relentless and repetitive questions had her at the breaking point. Finally, frustration and exhaustion won out and she ceased to be the courteous, cooperative woman they’d driven to the station.
“I’ve told you all I know!” she shouted two hours into their interview. “Why don’t you track down the people involved in the horse doping? I’ve given you owner’s names, the drug used, and repeated every word of what Annie told me verbatim. What more do you ...want?” Neither man answered so Ella Mae continued her rant. “I don’t benefit from Annie’s death. Someone obviously wanted her to keep quiet about the cobra venom.” She put her hands over her eyes, hoping to give them a rest from the sight of the stark room and the sickly glow of fluorescent lights.
