The Killing Game (2003)
“There had been a recent snow in the mountain town, and the weather was icy. The airport had only two runways and the tarmac was bumpy. One taxi was parked outside the terminal.
Spiro got a call from Charlie in the taxi on the way to town. He didn't look pleased by the time he hung up.
“The courthouse burned down six years ago,” Spiro said. “And there were no records of any Baldridge children attending the local school.”
“Maybe they went to school in a nearby town.”
“We're checking Jamison. It's... thirty miles from here.” He looked out the window. “But the schools will be closed until tomorrow morning. We'll have to stay overnight at a hotel . . . except Charlie said there isn't one. I think Dillard's population is only a little over four thousand.”
“Six thousand five hundred,” the cabdriver said.
Spiro reached into his pocket and drew out his notebook. “Charlie mentioned a bed and breakfast. Mrs. Tolvey's on Pine Street.”
“Good choice,” the cabdriver said.MoreLess
