The Last Enemy (2010)
The Last Enemy
“Cenni, who was himself a model of timeliness, wondered how, under the law of averages, two Italians who were punctual to a fault could have found themselves together in the same city, let alone the same police unit. At precisely eight o’clock every Monday they began their meeting with a discussion of the previous day’s football scores and, on occasion, as on the Monday after Easter, with idle chitchat about their work. Cenni began, “How did the house-to-house go yesterday, Piero?”
“Some int...eresting developments, Alex. But, in general, it was a difficult day . . . you know . . . my mother . . . that I had to miss Easter dinner,” he added in response to the confused look on Cenni’s face.
“Murder takes precedence!” Cenni snapped. He was in no mood to hear about Piero’s mother, an irritating woman, or one of the dinners her son had missed. It would do Piero a world of good to miss his dinner.
“Where’s Elena?”MoreLess
