The 9th Hour (The Detective Temeke Crime Series book 1)
“Malin squinted through the windshield trying to steer against a driving wind. She sensed Temeke’s despair, his anger.
“She’s dead, probably been dead for days,” he said, finger soothing his upper lip. “I asked him the name of Patti’s dog. You know what he said? Buster. Her mother said she didn’t have a dog. They’ve never had a dog. He was lying. That disgusting cesspool of a man was lying!”
Malin couldn’t stop wondering if Temeke was a liar. She’d seen him hugging Becky in the lobby, se...en her tearstained face. Something about a man she liked, how he had stood her up after school yesterday. Even though Becky tried to hug him, Malin still wondered if he broke away because he thought he was being watched.
