Tell No Lies
“James’s role had never been precisely defined. More than a chauffeur, less than a personal assistant or house manager, he’d simply been the person who took care of what Evelyn needed for as far back as Daniel’s memory stretched.
“She’s making you wear butler gloves?” Daniel asked.
“These?” James regarded his hands, and Daniel saw now that the gloves were in fact microfiber mitts. “No. I’m polishing the dashboards.”
“Oh. I guess even she isn’t that pretentious.”
James’s expression changed not at... all yet somehow managed to convey irony. He gestured, and Daniel stepped into the lobbylike foyer, following him back. His shoulders ached from the fight on the concrete floor, his neck painfully stiff when he craned to take in the vaulted ceilings.

An excuse to get his mind off the cellar brawl, the chase through Chinatown, and the roll of inexplicably shiny quarters that had baffled the entire Homicide Division last night.MoreLess
