Sugartown
“Stamenoff wasn’t as big as Toronto. He was six feet three inches of hard fat in a brown suit and wide necktie with a hula girl painted on it, heavy lids and puffy lips in a flat face with blue jowls. He never spoke where I could hear him. Kowalski was as far from him as they come, a slim loose redhead with Grecian curls, blue eyes without brows, and a rubber mouth smiling in a long square jaw like a brake pedal. His suit was just a suit. The little basement got very crowded with them and me and... the body on the stairs and the uniforms who had come in answer to my call. I doubted that there had been that many people in it since it was dug.
When Kowalski was through with the uniforms he came over to where I was standing next to the sheet-covered items and took my hand in a small hot paw. “Rental heat, huh? You dress like it.”
I glanced down at my raincoat. “It’s that kind of day.”
Stamenoff got a pad out of his hip pocket and found a pencil and we got started. It didn’t take too long to tell with Martha Evancek left out.MoreLess
