Possession (2005)
“Akela had awakened that morning not having slept well and more agitated than she’d ever been, thereby completely unprepared for Detective Alan Chevalier’s pronouncement the following morning.
“What?”
“I said we got a line on Lafitte. He’s in the city.”
The Eighth District station was abuzz with activity, giving the morning a surreal feeling. Colors seemed somehow more vivid, background noise louder.
Chevalier was shrugging into his ever-present overcoat. “Word came in from one of our snitches this morning. He’s at a hotel over on Bourbon Street, close enough to the Hotel Josephine to spit on it.”
Akela was familiar with the hotel if only because she was familiar with everything within a quarter mile radius of where Claire Laraway had been murdered.
“How reliable a snitch are we talking about?” she asked, her mood taking a further nosedive.
She’d been ready to confront Chevalier on his policy of ignoring evidence because it didn’t support the airtight case he was making against Claude.
