The Julian Secret (Lang Reilly Thrillers)
“He didn’t notice the pulsating colors that came through the room’s only window from neon signs outside advertising sex shops, pornographic movies, and cheap restaurants. If asked, it would have been doubtful if he could have named the cheap railroad hotel in which he was spending the night.
He was far too lost in his own self-pity.
First his wife, Dawn, then his sister and nephew. Now Gurt. All snatched away, exited from his life as if his existence were some cosmic revolving door turning in a ...single direction. Though neither religious nor superstitious, he waited for the other preordained shoe to fall.
Gurt. Her blond hair swirled around her face like a halo as she spun around to display the dress she had just bought. He smelled the musk of their lovemaking and felt the comforting warmth of her body next to his. Without realizing it, he smiled at some of her more egregious grammatical or idiomatic faux pas. The thrust and parry of their conversations, the smell of her cooking.
