Rafferty's Wife (2010)
““Because you’re the man I need.”
Rafferty Lewis shoved his hands into the pockets of his slacks and stared broodingly out the window. That the view afforded him was the striking expanse of a Trinidad beach cheered him not at all; he would have preferred the New York skyline he normally saw from his office window.
However … “You can refuse, of course, Mr. Lewis. After all, I have no legal claim on you. Not one I’d care to be called on to prove in court, at any rate.”
“I’m glad you realize that.”...
“But you were sworn in as a federal agent, Mr. Lewis. And Mr. Long is willing to give you a leave of absence; since you and your partner handle all the work for Mr. Long, I took the liberty of inquiring—”
“Hagen, for heaven’s sake just tell me what Josh said.”
“That you’d be a damned fool to get involved.”
“He should know.”
Rafferty sighed explosively. A damned fool. Well, he probably was one, since he was here. He didn’t like the setup, not one bit, but Hagen had been adamant about it.MoreLess
