The Fourth Rule of Ten: a Tenzing Norbu Mystery (A Tenzing Norbu Mystery Series book 4)
“had left for me yesterday. I was way south of South Central, almost in Compton. Boxy single-family residences lined the quiet street. A few brave trees had taken root in tiny yards, here and there. Overhead, the tangle of telephone wires formed a crisscrossed canopy, strung between peeling utility poles.
I double-checked the number. I was in the right place.
To my left, the building ended in a small parking lot, adjacent to a smaller concrete playground. Children here had to make do with a sing...le sandbox slightly bigger than a Kleenex box, plus two plastic picnic tables huddled close under tented blue canvas, the only source of shade. According to the sign, this portion of the building housed a Head Start program.
The rest of the structure plodded its way to the corner of 106th and Vermont. The windows were mesh grilles, all but one striped with metal bars. The middle window frame accommodated a very old air-conditioning unit, which was coughing and humming. A single white cross was tacked to the far edge of the flat roof, like an afterthought.MoreLess
