The Apostrophe Thief
“Two uniformed officers had taken Vasquez in to be held for questioning, and the men from the Medical Examiner’s office had removed the body. But the Crime Scene Unit was taking longer than usual to finish up; all the stuff Ernie Nordstrom had accumulated made their job difficult. Gloria Sanchez was standing straight up with her eyes closed; Marian was convinced she was sound asleep. None of them could sit down, because there was no place to sit.
Ernie Nordstrom had lived in a one-bedroom apartm...ent, if living was what it was.
