The Murder book
“Milo said, “Let’s get going,” and we ran for the car. The reader got out with his little computerized instrument of evil, but I peeled away before he could punch buttons.
“Close call,” said Milo.
“Thought you had clout,” I said.
“Clout’s an ephemeral thing.”
I turned the corner, headed back to the station.
He said, “So what do you think?”
“About what?”
“Georgie’s demeanor.”
“I don’t know Georgie.”
“Even so.”
“He seemed to get edgy when you brought up Burns.”
“He did, at that. Normally, he’s eve...n-tempered, you never hear him swear. This time he was tossing out the f-word.”
“Maybe recalling his father’s murder got him worked up.”
“Maybe.”
“You’re wondering if he did take care of Burns. But you’re unlikely to ever know.”
“Thought you were supposed to make people feel better.”
“Purification through insight,” I said, pulling up near the Westside staff parking lot and letting the Seville idle. Milo remained in place, long legs drawn up high, hands flat on the seat.MoreLess
