The Cardinal Divide (2009)
“Peggy McSorlie dropped pancake batter into a hot pan. “I hope you don’t mind,” Cole said and made a beeline for the coffee pot. In a moment he had a cup full, with cream, just the way he liked it. It was half-past eight. Gord McSorlie was already at work in the yard. Cole sipped his coffee. “This detective work involves a lot of late-night snooping around.” Cole winked.
“Just be careful about what you’re snooping around. Remember the old cliché, curiosity killed the cat?”
“I’m very careful,” sa...id Cole with a grin. This PI work wasn’t too bad after all. He was almost looking forward to his day, something that hadn’t happened since he’d arrived in Oracle. Something that hadn’t happened for a long time, period. He rubbed his cheek. He needed a shave. Had to take better care of himself. Not let himself go to pot. He needed to stay sharp. A man’s future was at stake, after all, and so was an amazing landscape.
Cole ate a stack of pancakes, and when he was done he cleared the table and washed the breakfast dishes.MoreLess
