The Barkeep
“ZOMBIE Mia’s worst fears about Justin Chase were confirmed with a single glance. If she hadn’t known who he was, she would never have recognized him.
The nervous law student with his pale skin and worried eyes, his soft face and body, his uneasy stammer, had been replaced by something far harder. It was the kind of physical transformation she had seen sometimes in meth addicts. His body fat had been reduced enough so that his cheekbones were sharp as scythes. With his dark flat eyes and long ha...ir and aggressive sort of calm, he indeed looked more like a drug dealer or a motorcycle madman than the anxious, ambitious kid he had been. And the dark-red bruise on his cheek, speckled with fresh blood, made him seem all the more dangerous.

“I fell.”
“Detective Scott said that what he heard on the other side of the door sounded like a confrontation of some sort.MoreLess
